Federal agency sues for pregnant women

A federal agency has sued a New Mexico company, alleging it discriminated against pregnant employees it had hired as security guards on Army bases, including Georgia's Fort Stewart. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said the victims included two female employees each at Fort Stewart, and forts in Kansas, Kentucky and Texas. The EEOC alleges that the company forced the women to take leaves of absence when they became pregnant, then terminated them, violating federal law.
