New rights for pregnant workers


Listen Later

After 10 years of advocacy, we finally have new protections for pregnant workers across the US. 

Tune in to hear from Sarah Brafman, National Policy Director at A Better Balance, to learn:

  • What the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act means for US employees and employers;
  • Why the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 still didn't provide protections for most pregnant workers; 
  • The role we all must play to spread the word about these critical new protections.
