      "title": "The Pregnancy Discrimination Act and the Supreme Court: A Legal Analysis of Young v. United Parcel Service",
      "summary": "In 2015, the Supreme Court issued a decision in Young v. United Parcel Service. In the case, a United Parcel Service (UPS) worker named Peggy Young challenged her employer\u2019s refusal to grant her a light-duty work assignment while she was pregnant, claiming that UPS\u2019s actions violated the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), a federal law that prohibits pregnancy discrimination in employment. In a highly anticipated ruling, the Justices fashioned a new test for determining when an employer\u2019s refusal to provide accommodations for a pregnant worker constitutes a violation of the PDA, and the Court sent the case back to the lower court for reconsideration in light of these new standards. This report provides an overview of the PDA and an analysis of the Court\u2019s decision.",
