update on my boss.

I posted awhile ago about my boss being mad because I didn't tell him I was expecting sooner. well two days ago I was at work and he called me over to him and straight up told me he was cutting my hours to three days a week because I am pregnant. I was getting 35+ hours AMD now I'm lucky if I get 10 hours a week. so I did some research and found the right to work and the pregnancy acts. turns out, what he is doing is illegal. should I take it to corporate and get him fired or what should I do?

Same thing happened to me. I was only about 15 weeks or less and I had just started my job and she knew form the start. Anyway she started hiring new people and then shed send me texts saying not to come into work. And then makes excuses as to why I shouldn't.. She ended up saying I wasn't needed anymore (but still employed?) I was supposed to get full time and benefits and that didn't happen. I filed for unemployment and of course I didn't get Much since I hadn't been with them.that long so it was pulling from my previous minimum wage job!  I just said forget it and moved back home.

Every state has a civil rights department you can call and they can advise you on this, even put you in touch with a free or affordable lawyer. That is wrong. And if he straight up said its because you're pregnant, then he is liable for a lawsuit against not only him but the company you work for. I had the same issue with my job. They tried to tell me after 12 weeks of unpaid leave I won't have a job, they can't do that. Under the pregnancy laws of my state, I'm entitled to as much leave as I need and to come back to the same pay as before. As long as you're able to perform your job as well as before you were pregnant and your performance on the job hasn't changed, he has no right to cut hours for that reason alone. Report him and teach that jerk a lesson!
