Former driver takes on UPS in Supreme Court pregnancy discrimination case

http://ift.tt/1tNan5G // Peggy-young

In 2006, United Parcel Service driver Peggy Young was put on unpaid leave because she got pregnant. Now, Young is suing her former employer because she believes UPS violated the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, and the U.S. Supreme Court is about to hear the case.


The basic facts of the case are not disputed: When Young became pregnant, UPS' company nurse asked her to obtain a doctor's note. The doctor said Young should not lift more than 20 pounds while pregnant. UPS put her on unpaid leave because drivers are supposed to be able to lift 70 pounds or more
