ALouisiana restaurant hired a woman and then fired her the same day after a manager discovered she was pregnant, according to federal officials.

Now, the restaurant must pay her $30,000.

---------------------------------------------------------------

On May 26, the restaurant resolved a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit that was filed in September 2021 by the EEOC, court records show.

The case dates back to April 18, 2019, when, after an interview with a manager, the woman was hired as a hostess at Bourne’s House, according to the lawsuit.

That night, after the manager discovered that the woman was pregnant, he messaged her, stating “Hey, I’m sorry to tell you this, but I’m not gonna be able to hire you. I didn’t realize that you were expecting a baby. I’m afraid by the time I get you trained good, you’ll have to be off to be a mom. I’m sorry,” court documents show.

The woman was told the position was not “suitable” for her because of her pregnancy and she was told to reapply after she gave birth, the complaint states.

A couple of months later, the woman reapplied for a position in person. Court documents state that after she left, one of the restaurant’s employees wrote down “pregnant” on the woman’s application and she was not rehired.

1. At time of viewing I wonder why 80 some odd people looked at this and passed it by,

not thinking the issue was important enough to hit the rec button or make a comment.

4. A little silly on my part that it didn't even occur to me.

Thanks. That made me feel better about it.

7. Thanks for the explanation.

I'm an administrator on another board. Right now, we have 34 visitors online, five of which are members, and 29 of which are "guests.' The guests are bots and other entities. I can see their IP addresses, but I know little else about them.

2. I wonder how common this is

and how often it goes unreported or even noticed by people.

6. I worked for a landlord that owned a few run-down hotels that rented weekly/monthly in SF

It was standard practice not to rent to women with children. The city would run sting operations to try to catch the property owners that routinely break the law, but the practice was rampant.

8. COVID drove women from the workforce. Once abortion & BC is banned, more will be

forced out.

This is a FEATURE, not a bug - in Republicans' plans to subjugate America's women.
