The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has sued a teen fashion boutique for allegedly harassing and discriminating against two pregnant employees.
In a lawsuit filed Sept. 21 in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the EEOC accused dELiA*s Inc. of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, which prohibit discrimination based on sex, including pregnancy, and retaliation against an employee for complaining about discrimination.
