Ask Your Lawyer Series, Pregnancy Discrimination


In this week’s “Ask Your Lawyer” segment on the morning show “Open” I answered this email from Patricia (South Bronx):  “I work in a hair salon in the South Bronx and am 7 months pregnant.  I am being asked to sweep the hair off the floor even though I have told the manager that it hurts my back.  The doctor said I should avoid bending over.  Do I have any rights or do I have to do this type of work.  I would much rather sit at the reception desk checking in customers?”   The segment is now online:
