How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding that direct statements denying raises because of maternity leave, encouraging an employee to get an abortion, and urging employees not to get pregnant, among other things, persuasive anecdotal evidence
- stating that a compensation policy that “does not differentiate between employees who take leave for pregnancy and employees who take leave for other reasons” is not a basis for a pregnancy discrimination claim on the basis of pay
- “Defendants cannot rebut typicality by claiming that something other than discrimination explains the named plaintiffs’ experience.”
