I was reading a post where a pregnanat lady was laid off from her job due to her working with medical equipment which would be dangerous for her unborn baby. She was wondering if she could sue the company for being laid off just because she's pregnant. I believe she is entitled to get her job back after her baby is born. I believe that in the USA this is covered under the FMLA - Family Medical Leave Act. I believe this says that she can take up to 12-16 weeks off due to having a baby and the employer has to keep her job - maybe they don't have to pay her, but they have to keep her job open for her, I believe. Check with a lawyer if you are under these circumstances.
