EEOC Issues New Guidance on Pregnancy
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which has made discrimination against pregnant workers a focal point of its enforcement priorities over the past few years, ratcheted up its pressure on employers by publishing a new “Enforcement Guidance on Pregnancy Discrimination and Related Issues” this summer.

The bulk of the Guidance is not controversial and tracks current case law.
The Guidance also addresses more recent issues such as breast feeding and lactation discrimination and is at odds with some recent decisions holding that lactation was not a pregnancy-related condition.
