Discrimination Against Caregivers-When is it covered under EEO laws?

Discrimination against caregivers is an emerging EEOC issue that has the potential to become increasingly significant in the future as work-family conflicts become more common. This presentation will discuss the most common forms of unlawful disparate treatment of caregivers such as intentional sex discrimination against female workers with caregiving responsibilities, pregnancy discrimination, discrimination against male caregivers, discrimination against women of color, unlawful caregiver stereotyping under the American Disability Act, and retaliation against workers for complaining about unlawful discrimination.
