Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Pennsylvania

Discrimination against pregnant woman

Do i have a case? I have been at my job (big corporation) for nearly 7 years, in the state of pa. During my maternity leave i got a call that i am getting laid off. I was told that i couldnt reapply cause i had a write up in my file. (The write was unfair thing due to my pregnancy i was not able to lift i had a dr note, that i couldnt lift, i got wrote up for not finding out of date cases of soda in the back room of accounts that were under other cases of soda.) So the write up was unfair, everyone has out of dates i was the only one to get wrote up for them. I then found out that other employees who had write up were able to reapply for their jobs and that they got to keep them. I felt like from day one that i told them about my pregnancy that they targeted me. I wasnt able to reapply for my job that i have been doing for 7 years but yet they were able to hire someone off the streets with no experience to replace me. In my sales center there are 14 people in sales 12 men 1 other girl and me. If i put my family on hold i bet you i would still have a job with them!

Re: Discrimination against pregnant woman

It sounds as if you may have been discriminated against based upon your pregnancy. Please feel free to give me a call to discuss at your earliest convenience. You can also e-mail me directly and I will provide you with a short questionnaire to fill out to determine how much you are entitled to recover.
