Hiya Harry...
Being fired secondary to a pregnancy is Wrongful Termination, and is in
violation of the US Labor Laws.
However, if she was an "At Will" employee and not a contracted employee, it
may be difficult to proved discharge as a result of pregnancy. "At Will"
employess can be terminated for ANY reason, and the employer never has to
give a rason for the termination. I know, that's a bunch of crap, but 85%
of the US works under "at will" conditions. Also know that the employee
herself can terminate her at will employment at any time as well with no
reason. It works both ways.
If the employer specifically said "You are fired because you are pregnant, "
then she has a substantial case.
