Video appears to contradict Warren's suggestion that school fired her over pregnancy
Unbelievable how this woman can take a benign situation and turn it on its head with bold faced lies and fabrications.
No real contradiction between those two statements. It was very common back in those days to fire women who got pregnant.
It still is very common for women to get fired when they get pregnant, Joe. Especially women in low wage jobs. If they get injured on the job, or something happens to the baby as a result of the work, they're in a legal position to sue.
In Canada, you cannot fire a pregnant worker. We had a case where our law firm hired a woman who was a useless. Slow, lazy, made lots of mistakes, and complained endlessly, so a total pain to be around. They were about to call her into HR and have "the talk" with her, when she happily announced she was pregnant. We were stuck with her until she went on maternity leave. They could only fire her AFTER she came back from mat leave.
I worked at a place where the women wasn’t very good and she got pregnant and they didn’t fire her. She came back after her leave, she stayed on for a few weeks and they let her go. I have never worked at a company that let a pregnant worker go.
In 1978 the United States passed the Pregnancy Act that does not allow employers to let women go for being pregnant. Don’t let that get in the way of your stories.
