Guest guest Posted February 18, 2000 Report Share Posted February 18, 2000 Rep. Maloney will host a public news conference Wednesday, March 8 at the U.S. Capitol (specific location to be announced) at 11:00 a.m. to support the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 2000, which will be introduced by Rep. Maloney on that day. This bill will protect a women from being fired and/or discriminated in the workplace based on lactation. Currently the law protects women based on " pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions " . This bill will simply clarify that lactation IS in fact a related medical condition. (It is similar to H.R. 1478 which was introduced in 1999, but we have made a few minor changes suggested by the U.S. Department of Labor.) SO SAVE THE DATE! More info to come, but if you are in the DC area (or are willing to travel to get here for the event), you are welcome. This will be open to the public, and moms and kids are of course more than welcome. If you are one of the moms who would have been helped by such a law being in place, AND if you haven't already talked with Sullivan in my office, please email her at megan.sullivan@... Look forward to seeing you on March 8th at 11:00 a.m. MORE DETAILS TO COME... Message From: Gail Ravnitzky gail.ravnitzky@... Legislative Director U.S. Rep. Carolyn B.
