An appeals court has ruled that a medical technician presented a prima facie case of pregnancy discrimination with her wrongful termination suit over her refusal to climb a ladder to wash windows after being diagnosed with a high-risk pregnancy.
A panel of the Superior Court of New Jersey’s Appellate Division reinstated her suit after rejecting the defendants’ arguments that insubordination was a legitimate reason for her firing and that she has no claim for discrimination because she did not request an accommodation.
