Quinto Circuito: La Discriminación Por Lactancia Es Discriminación Sexual Ilegal

Rechazando la decisión de un tribunal federal del Distrito Sur de Texas que negó una demanda de discriminación por la Comisión Para la Igualdad de Oportunidades en el Empleo de los EE.UU., el Tribunal de Apelaciones del Quinto Circuito de los EE. UU. decidió  ayer con unanimidad que despedir a una mujer porque está dando de lactar o extrayéndose la leche es discriminación sexual ilegal violando el Título VII del Acta de Derechos Civiles de 1964 (modificada por la Ley de Discriminación por Embarazo de 1978). El Congreso aprobó la Ley de Discriminación por Embarazo para proteger a las mujeres que trabajan contra la discriminación por motivos de embarazo, parto o una condición médica relacionada.
