Statement “We are extremely pleased that the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act was reintroduced in Congress today with bipartisan support. Its passage should be a high priority for leaders in both the House and Senate. This bill would help pregnant workers stay at their jobs without sacrificing the health of their pregnancies. It is common-sense, badly needed legislation that would go a long way in ensuring that pregnant workers receive reasonable accommodations on the job as needed.
