During the initial employment interview for a new job, the manager asked my niece if she was planning on starting a family any time soon. She said no. She got the job but SURPRISE, found she was pregnant a few days later. Before she had worked there 3 months, she was moving some merchandise and hurt her back. It locked up on her. She called the rep to report the injury and to ask what doctor they would like her to see in case they had a special workers comp doctor. Due to the pregnancy, her choice of over the counter medications was limited. She did make all attempts to go through the company's procedures. After she got a run around for a couple of days with no reply from the employer, she did go see the doctor they recommended. She then got fired.
Should she pursue this as a case of wronful termination?
