Con Law
Storyboard Text
- Young v. United States Parcel Service Inc. (UPS)
- Good morning! I would like to request a leave of absence, as I am going to undergo in vitro fertilization. 
- Sure! See you soon!
- Woohoo! I'm pregnant! I can go to work, but I need to make sure I do not lift more than 20 pounds.
- I am back and in treatment, I am just now allowed to lift more than 20 pounds, per the doctor.
- But... that's not fair? I am taking this to court!
- Oh no, that does not work.  Since you used all of your paid time, you're going to be forced to take an unpaid leave, oh, and you'll loose your medical coverage.
- Your Honor, this is unconstitutional! The Pregnancy Discrimination Act requires an employer to provide the same work accommodations to an employee with pregnancy-related work limitations as to employees with similar, but non-pregnancy related, work limitations. 
- The Supreme Court
- With the closing of this case, the court rules in favor of Young in a 6-3 decision. As a result, pregnant women will now be able to be given equivalent treatment compared to others with physical limitations at work, and therefore, will not lose their benefits. Court adjourned.
