Show Notes
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.
