Supreme Court to Determine Workplace Pregnancy Protections for Moms-to-Be

Should a pregnant worker have the right to workplace accommodations, such as a chair to sit on as she works a cash register or more frequent bathroom breaks during her job as a call center operator? The Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 was supposed to make the answers to those questions - in both instances - crystal clear. Congress passed it to overturn the Supreme Court's 1976 decision that pregnancy discrimination is not sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
