Democratic Lawmakers Bolster Federal Appeal in Texas Pregnant Workers Law Dispute

These legislators argued that the lower court ruling, if upheld, would undermine Congress’ authority to set its own operational rules. This support could play a pivotal role as the federal government navigates the legal complications surrounding the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA).
