A Better Balance was in Washington, DC, attending the White House Summit on Working Families. Imagine how excited we were to hear President Obama call on Congress to pass the federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.
“Right now a pregnant woman could be fired for taking too many bathroom breaks, probably by a boss who has never been pregnant.” President Obama said. “Congress should pass the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act without delay.”
Just last week, Channel 11 News highlighted our work and interviewed Dina Bakst about the NYC Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA). We’re thrilled to see this kind of coverage in the media, as it helps to raise public awareness around this important issue. We realize that ignorance is a powerful barrier to justice, so we are also working hard to educate both workers and employers about their rights and responsibilities under the PWFA.
We need your help! Please make a $10 contribution to help us spread the word so no worker in this city or nation is forced to choose between her job and a healthy pregnancy.
Fairness for pregnant workers is on a roll! We need your support to keep the momentum going.
Thank you, as always, for your support.
