[quote=Anonymous]Employment lawyer here. Ask yourself a hard question, OP. Do you really and truly believe you were laid off because of your pregnancy? If the answer is yes, then you should talk to a lawyer to see if you can prove it. If the answer is no but you are just pissed off, you won't have a case. It's not illegal to lay off a pregnant woman, it's illegal to lay off a woman [b]because [/b] she is pregnant. That's a big distinction. If you got laid off literally the day after you told them, I'm thinking that your layoff was probably in the works before they knew you were pregnant. Obviously in that case the layoff has nothing to do with the pregnancy so it's not illegal, just an unlucky coincidence. But again, if you have true reason to believe that the layoff was [b]motivated by [/b]your pregnancy, it's worth consulting an attorney.[/quote]
