4:10 p.m. - 5:10 p.m. The New Federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and Pump Act
In spite of Title VII and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, protections for pregnant workers on the federal level have been woefully inadequate. The passage of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act ("PWFA") which took effect in June of 2023, relieved pregnant workers of having to show that they had coworkers who were similarly situated or that they were suffering from a pregnancy related disability. Furthermore, the Providing Urgent Maternal Protection for Nursing Mothers Act ("PUMP"), which amended the Fair Labor Standards Act, eased the burden of employees who returned to work but who wanted to continue breastfeeding their babies. Join Katherine Greenberg and Michael Del Piano as they discuss the ramifications of these laws and how they impact employers and employees both nationally and in New York State.
