Walmart has previously faced allegations of discriminating against pregnant workers. In 2014, the retailer was charged with refusing to offer pregnant employees accommodations like those offered to similarly situated workers under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It face similar claims again in 2017. The ADA does not view pregnancy itself as a disability but EEOC takes the position that the PDA requires that employers accommodate pregnant workers in the same way they accommodate other similarly situated employees.
