A former employee in Florida sued the supermarket chain for allegedly violating the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, along with several other laws.

the store thats "owned by the employees"... lol
- At least not owned by that pregnant lady
Plaintiff was also permitted to take breaks as-needed when her symptoms appeared (e.g., when she needed to vomit.)

gee thanks
Ooh boy they are in trouble! I wouldn't be surprised they have to pay a fine as high as .0003% of their monthly profits.
- Probably still cheaper than paying for her leave.
