Senator Murray Statement on EEOC Final Rule Implementing Pregnant Workers Fairness Act

Press Release

“I was proud to help pass the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act to deliver important new protections for pregnant moms on the job everywhere—making sure they can count on reasonable accommodations like time off for health care appointments and having a place to sit down. Today’s final rule correctly takes a comprehensive view of pregnancy and related medical conditions—ensuring the law will provide protections to more women who need them. This rule gives clarity to employers and workers and is a significant step toward making our workplaces more family-friendly and ensuring working moms and soon-to-be moms have the support they need.”
