WorkLife Law’s efforts to secure justice for working people and students who are pregnant, postpartum, or caring for family members took on new dimensions this year. We’ve had to defend federal rights we previously took for granted, while expanding what’s possible at the state and local level. While our work may have shifted, we’re still creating wins for pregnant people and family caregivers nationwide. 

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) issued a Committee Statement today with guidance for ob-gyns on supporting their patients’ workplace safety during pregnancy and postpartum. The guidance, also published in the medical journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, was co-authored by WorkLife Law Co-Director Liz Morris.
