I began working at Party City in Aug. Of 2002. I was promised 30 hrs. A week and things were fine until Nov. When I became pregnant. I was only 17 years old and my manager said that he was going to cut my hours because now that I was pregnant he didn't know if I was going to stay working there. I assured him I liked working at Party City. He cut my hours back to 4 hours a week. I was denined hours: I was totally harrased
when I did work.
I went to work the other day and I am 6 1/2 months pregnant now. While I was working register I was having
contractions and pulled a stood up to sit on the down time.
My manager said I was not allowed to sit or have any special treatment because I was pregnant. I told my manager I was having contractions and was told I needed a note from my doctor to sit down... I called the doctor and told him what was going on and had to go to the hospital... I was in labor... They stopped
the labor and Party City now says they do not feel I am entitled to disability because of the few hours I was working. I only worked a few hours because they would not give me hours...
Anyway Party City doesn't treat their Pregnant Employees
with any respect... Only discrimination...
