Finally, women no longer will be forced to choose between their health and a paycheck.

I fought for years to get the Pregnant Worker’s Fairness Act (PWFA) across the finish line and now, employers across our country have clarity on their responsibility to accommodate pregnant workers.

The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act is a life-changing protection for pregnant and postpartum workers nationwide, ensuring they aren’t forced off the job or denied the accommodations they need for their health.

Access to the vital accommodations they need during pregnancy and after childbirth is necessary, and now women’s health and jobs can be protected. Add your name if you agree every woman deserves a workforce that supports pregnancy, childbirth, and other related conditions!

The recent Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announcement recognizes the broad scope of the PWFA, including that abortion is a covered condition under the bill. These final rules significantly advance women's health, economic security, and equality.

We have achieved a huge step forward for millions of workers, especially women in low-wage and physically-demanding jobs.

This decision also recognizes abortion as a covered condition which is a critical step forward in supporting a full range of reproductive health. Women shouldn’t have to choose between their health and their job – and now they don’t have to.

Add your name to agree that pregnant workers deserve full protections in the workplace. Together we are making a critical step to protect the health and well-being of pregnant workers.

Onward,

Jerry
