Law, Business and Society 11th Edition by Tony McAdams

Exercise 32

Waitresses at the Rustic Inn were prohibited under a written policy from waiting tables past their fifth month of pregnancy and required either to suspend working or to switch to working as cashiers or hostesses, who are paid less since they do not receive gratuities. The EEOC filed a lawsuit against the employer on behalf of a class of three aggrieved employees, alleging that the policy violated the PDA. Decide. See EEOC v. W O Inc., 213 F. 3d 600 (11th Cir. 2000).
