Some pregnant women face adverse conditions at work, including working conditions that could threaten their health or the health of their child. Simple workplace accommodations can help protect pregnant women.
Congress has an opportunity to guarantee pregnancy accommodations to more women by passing the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), a bill with bipartisan support. The PWFA would make it easier for pregnant women to ask for reasonable accommodations at work and clarify standards for employers. The PWFA is a common-sense, bipartisan measure.
For background on the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, read our recent PWFA Policy Brief.
