The women who are pregnant are not entitled to special treatment due to a pregnancy which is elective and NOT a Disease. If female professionals choose to become pregnant then they need to secure a professional nanny or household help to deal with childcare responsibilities and resume their full professional status and duties. Their benefits and pension should be adjusted to reflect the time they have taken off for pregnancy or child care leave and they should not be guaranteed that their position is held open for more than four weeks.

Actually, at one Pfizer site, all of the women who had a baby within the previous year were all laid off, along with three other people who had been diagnosed with serious diseases, including cancer. But the legal team made sure the company covered its tracks to avoid lawsuits. Those with families were also targeted. The only ones left were unmarrieds or without young children. All of these greedmeisters need a lashing.

so effectively, lukas doesn’t expect that novartis needs to do right by waters or any other women? talk about setting us back. perhaps that’s easy to say from her perch, but most of the western world depends upon working for someone else. not blowing the whistle perpetuates the problem. NVS deserves the lashing.
