After being given a pregnancy leave for several months, with a promise from California Federal Savings and Loans for her job back, Lillian Garland was finally ready to return to work. But after being denied her job, Garland took her case to court.
Garland sued under the California law that requires employers to grant up to 4 months’ paid disability leave for pregnant works and to guarantee their job for when they return. Five years of giving birth to her child, Garland finally won her case winning 6 – 2 in the U.S. Supreme court.
This is a common issue as there are 55 million employed women in the U.S., (109 words).
