Class action lawsuits regarding reproductive health rights were recently filed against Walmart, the U.S.’s largest private employer, in Illinois, New York and Wisconsin (September 2018). Many other employers such as Amazon, Merck and Novartis face similar lawsuits, too, relating to pregnancy discrimination, failure to provide reasonable accommodations (such as lifting, limited chemical exposure, etc. ) and violations of EEOC rules.
If you don’t get protection of workers’ reproductive health right, your company will be sued. It’s just a matter of time.
