U.S (ACLU) : We can win PROTECTIONS for PREGNANT WORKERS – here's how...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friend – I'll repeat this for as long as it takes : It's 2022 and pregnant workers can still be fired by their employers instead of being given temporary and reasonable accommodations, like a chair to sit on.   People are being forced to choose between losing income for their family or putting their pregnancy at risk – and it's hurting low-wage workers, those in physically demanding jobs, and workers of color the most.   But here's something else worth repeating : The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) would address these injustices – and it's never been so close to becoming law.   It passed the House, it cleared the Senate's HELP committee, it has support from both sides of the aisle – now all that's left is a vote on the Senate floor and that's where we need your help.       Please, pregnant workers can't wait anymore – so let's make sure our senators know exactly what we expect of them: Send a message today urging them to pass PWFA once and for all.           TAKE ACTION           Friend, I know right now it feels like everything in Congress is an uphill and near-impossible fight. But I mean it when I say : We can make PWFA happen.   All of us at the ACLU, alongside our coalition partners and activists like yourself, have been pushing for this critical bill for years – and this is the moment where that hard work pays off.   We just need to make sure our senators hear us one more time, louder and clearer than ever.   For pregnant workers everywhere in this country : Tell the Senate to pass PWFA now.       Let's do this,         Vania Leveille Pronouns : She, her, hers Senior Legislative Counsel, ACLU.
