of Young v. UPS, which led to new guidance on this important issue. The

reissue its own standards on discrimination, for the benefit of employers and
of EEOC enforcement officials.

Do Your Homework
Generally, employers don't go out of their way to discriminate against
pregnant workers or workers who have recently given birth. But, given the
myriad of employment-related issues and policies that could give rise to a
discrimination charge, it's a good idea to do your homework before taking any
action involving a pregnant employee or job applicant.
