4. Work While Pregnant
不准怀孕期间工作
It used to be legal for employers to fire female workers after they became pregnant. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act put an end to this practice in 1978. Before then, it was extremely common for companies to fire the pregnant. It is estimated that up to forty percent of employers adhered to the practice.
曾经,雇佣怀孕女性是违法的。知道1978年,《怀孕歧视法案》才终止了这一行为。此前,企业开除怀孕员工再正常不过了——据估计,大约有40%的雇主坚持如此。
