Poor, Pregnant, and Fired: Caregiver Discrimination Against Low-Wage Workers – by Stephanie Bornstein, Center for WorkLife Law, University of California, Hastings College of the Law
“This report provides a survey of family responsibilities discrimination (FRD) lawsuits that low-wage workers brought against their employers when they were unfairly penalized at work because of their caregiving responsibilities at home. The report reflects a review of cases brought by low-wage hourly workers, drawn from the more than 2600 cases collected by the Center for WorkLife Law in its FRD case database to date. Fifty such cases are used to illustrate trends in caregiver discrimination lawsuits brought by low-wage workers.”
