So pleased federal #PWFA passed last month! Now pregnant workers in all states will get the support they need. Just updated my essay on how state laws passed in both red and blue states laid the groundwork for this essential new law. Paper here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4097094

Some of the fire quotes featured in this article from Jessica Stender, our Policy Director, include:

✅ “The fact that it’s taken this long is really a sign of a lack of importance put on women in the workforce.”

✅ "Workers’ rights should never be determined by ZIP code."

I’m thrilled that the Senate passed my bill, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. This is a huge win for millions of pregnant and postpartum workers who deserve reasonable protections under federal law. #PWFA https://twitter.com/senatedems/status/1605998240813285376

Happy to share the almost-final version of my essay on how Pregnant Workers Fairness Acts, which provide key supports for pregnant workers, have passed in both red and blue states. (And hoping it will be out-of-date immediately if Congress passes the federal PWFA that is waiting for a vote in the Senate.)

The #PregnantWorkersFairnessAct will help pregnant & postpartum workers get basic support at work like having a chair or a bottle of water. Now, they often endure conditions that impact their income & health. The PWFA passed the U.S. House; it has the votes to pass the Senate. If not passed in three weeks, it will have to start over next year.

Send a letter to your senators: Tell them to pass #PWFA now!
