I have been employed with a small company Woman Owned Business with approx. 18 employees. I am currently the only full time salary female there. I have been working there for approx 6 months and found out that I was pregnant after 3 months of working. I have 2 children and I am the insurance benefits provider in my home. Here in Chicago IL we have had bad weather the past few days. I called into work on Monday 12.11.00 and told him that I was unable to get into work and was going to be there. This morning I called in Tuesday due to the fact the my son was ill and I was ill also. He told me that this wasn't going to work and that I need to make an appointment with him to come in and pick up my things or he will mail them to me. Well, I was of course very upset and I told him to mail me my things from my desk that I could never face anyone of them again. There is actually no reason to be terminated, I am the only full-time female employee. The company is all men except for one female that works 2 days a week. I now have no income coming in and I am pregnant. What about insurance? Can they do this? Is there any type of law firing a woman that is pregnant?
