John,
The Nation reports that there are enough bipartisan votes in the Senate to pass a bill that would protect pregnant workers in America. But the bill hasn’t come to the Senate floor for a vote.
I was proud to vote for the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act when it passed the House. We must take this opportunity to get a bipartisan bill through the Senate. Will you add your name to my call for the Senate to bring the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act up for a vote and send it to President Biden?
The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act would require employers to offer reasonable accommodations to pregnant employees including light duty assignments, more frequent bathroom breaks, and unpaid leave for doctor’s appointments or recovery from childbirth. It would even ensure employers provide things to pregnant workers as small as a stool to sit on or the ability to carry a water bottle.
All too often, workers are left without appropriate protections and working conditions. Pregnant workers are even more vulnerable to unfair treatment or the denial of accommodations. We live in a society that fails pregnant workers in far too many ways. Passing the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act would be an important step in the right direction.
Thank you for using your voice today.
In solidarity,
Pramila
