Looming US rule changes may curb pregnant worker supports

6. I was denied light duty

Worked for a major railroad. I went into preterm labor and my son was born 2 months early. Worked the day my water broke. I asked for light duty, and they denied me. They said they could not give me light duty because they would have to give it to the men as well. I still harbor anger and resentment. My son was denied entry into the military because we recently found out he has been hearing impaired since birth. They also stopped my insurance because the employee plan did not cover pregnancy. I had been ridiculed at work by a few male employees telling me I had taken a job away from a man. The good news is I was able to get some changes made with the railroad. Employee health plans now cover pregnancy and I believe they offer light duty to pregnant employees. I think this might all be coming to an end. I hate Trump. I fucking hate Trump.
