The Senate voted to include the Pregnant Worker’s Fairness Act in the 2022 Omnibus Spending Bill, which, if passed, will protect all people who can get pregnant from having to choose between their health and their paycheck!

The Act’s provisions legally require employers to provide reasonable accommodations for pregnant workers — including providing bathroom breaks, a stool to sit on for cashiers, the ability to carry a water bottle, and other essential needs for those working while pregnant, ending the suffering of millions of pregnant people who have dealt with horrible working conditions — or were forced out of their jobs while pregnant.

Join us in sending our thanks to the senators who supported this bipartisan effort to protect workers from having to choose between their health and their paycheck — a major win for the equity and wellbeing of all pregnant workers in our country.
