Pier 1: Stop discriminating against pregnant workers!
Kimberly Caselman loved her job at Pier 1. She did good work, and was counting on her paychecks to take care of a new baby on the way.
She didn't realize Pier 1 has an illegal, discriminatory policy against pregnant employees — until she was forced to leave work without pay.
This store markets heavily to women and families, and this story could be a huge blow to its "family friendly" image. Stand up for workers like Kimberley who face discrimination, getting Pier 1 to bring her back and revise its sexist policy!

Why is this important?
Even though it's against California law, Pier 1 forces pregnant workers to do eight weeks of light duty before making them take months-long unpaid leave.
