Pregnant workers rights alert! The State of Texas tried to hold a new pregnancy rights law unconstitutional. So, Kaplan Law Firm helped take action. We are pleased to announce that attorney Caitlin Boehne and summer associate Gabriel Loya recently wrote and filed an amicus brief with the 5th Circuit on behalf of pregnant Texas women in the State of Texas v. Merrick Garland case. We are proud to support and advocate for the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, the new law Congress passed to provide critical rights to pregnant workers. Unfortunately, the State of Texas claimed the new law was passed in an unconstitutional manner, and the trial court judge incorrectly (in our view) agreed. This amicus was a joint effort of A Better Balance, and fellow TEXAS EMPLOYMENT LAWYERS ASSOC members Tyler Talbert, Andrew Golub, Holly Williams, Brian East, and President Kyla Cole. We are proud to help provide a voice to Texas Workers on this important issue. ⚖
