Re: pregnancy discrimination
It is difficult to tell from your description if you have a legitimate claim for pregnancy discrimination or not. However, an employer cannot avoid liability for pregnancy discrimination simply by calling you an independent contractor. If you believe that you were discriminated against, I would recommend that you consult with an attorney to discuss your situation and your rights in this situation.
