EEOC Sues Midway Neurological & Rehabilitation Center for Pregnancy Discrimination and Retaliation

The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has sued Midway Neurological & Rehabilitation Center (located in the Chicago area) for pregnancy discrimination and retaliation. EEOC alleges that the company cut the hours of one of its social workers after finding out she was pregnant and then later fired her for complaining about it, during her maternity leave. These allegations, if proven, are violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
