Walgreens agreed to pay $205,000 to settle a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Walgreens has agreed to pay $205,000 to settle a lawsuit brought on behalf of a pregnant employee who was not allowed to go to a doctor when she discovered she was spotting. A pregnant Walgreens employee asked to go to a doctor’s office when she began spotting during her shift in an Alexandria, La., store on Dec. 2, 2020. Her boss allegedly told her no, saying they didn’t have a replacement and accusing her of asking for too many accommodations.
“Miscarriages can be personally devastating. No one should have to choose between getting the pregnancy care they need and losing a job,” Elizabeth Owen, a lawyer in the EEOC’s New Orleans office, wrote in a Walgreens hired Doe on Sept. 17, 2020, as a customer sales associate at one of its two stores in Alexandria, La., the EEOC alleges in its complaint. Less than a month later, Doe told her boss that she was under a doctor’s care because of weakness and asked permission to eat at work, the complaint states, and on Oct. 27, she notified the company that she was pregnant.
