Small Business Majority files Amicus Brief to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in support of the EEOC’s final rule on the PWFA

On September 4, Small Business Majority, alongside Main Street Alliance (MSA) and the American Sustainable Business Council (ASBC), filed an Amicus Brief in support of the recent final rule issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) which outlines guidance on how employers and employees can comply with the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA). Small Business Majority, MSA and ASBC filed a similar brief in the original lawsuit filed by 17 state attorneys general which aimed to halt the implementation of the EEOC’s final rule. That lawsuit was dismissed by a federal judge in Arkansas in June, although the case has now been brought before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.
