ABSTRACT:
4 pages in length. Discrimination in the workplace has long been an issue of inequity and prejudice toward certain groups or individuals; that laws now exist to deter such undemocratic policymaking speaks to the tremendous need to pioneer for major change with regard to discriminatory practices. Historically, pregnant women have been discriminated against in the workplace to such a degree that not only were they refused employment because they were expecting, but they also lost their jobs when it came time for them to leave work and give birth. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 (PDA), however, established an entirely different set of rules by which Human Resource Management (HRM) departments have had to comply. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
