To the Editor:Re “Anti-Mom Prejudice at Work,” by Katherine Goldstein (Op-Ed, May 21):New York City is home to some of the strongest workplace protections in the country for expecting and current mothers and caregivers. The New York City Commission on Human Rights, which enforces these protections under the city’s Human Rights Law, has worked to make those protections even stronger through legal guidance defining workplace violations and providing clear examples of how and when employers should make accommodations for pregnant employees. Victims of pregnancy discrimination can and should file complaints with the commission, which has increased investigations in this area by more than 34 percent in the last two years to get justice for victims and hold violators accountable. Last month, the commission required Whole Foods to pay more than $65,000 in fines and damages, update its policies and attend a training on its obligations under the law after it failed to grant a pregnant employee an accommodation and later fired her.
