Pregnancy Discrimination

Part of the Title VII of the Civil  Rights Act is the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA). The focus of a PDA  claim is whether an employer’s policy treats pregnant workers less  favorably than it treats non-pregnant workers who are similar in their  ability or inability to work; or whether an employer subjects a pregnant  worker to a materially adverse employment action, including a hostile  work environment, because of pregnancy.
