Pregnant workers across the country are suffering from discrimination and mistreatment, from being denied bathroom breaks to being forced off the job. The pandemic has only worsened what has been a longstanding issue—one that has devastating health and economic consequences, especially for low-wage, frontline workers and women of color.
But there is a solution: Congress must immediately pass the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act to help ensure dignity, security, and equity for pregnant workers. Critically, the PWFA’s protection could provide urgent relief to millions of pregnant and postpartum workers navigating health risks and economic insecurity due to COVID.
Join us in urging Congress to prioritize the needs of pregnant workers and pass the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act NOW.
