What must be proved in order to win a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit?
In order to win a pregancy discrimination claim against your employer, you need to show that your pregnancy was a motivating factor in some sort of adverse employment action. So whether it be that you have been fired, demoted, or failed to receive a promotion, you need to be able to show that your pregnancy was a motivating factor in that bad action by your employer.
