Woman denied job back due to pregnancy, U.S. Supreme Court rules in favor

Lillian Garland, an employee for California Federal Savings and Loan, was cut from her job when she returned from her granted pregnancy leave.

Garland sued under California law requiring employers to grant up to four months' paid disability leave to pregnant workers and to guarantee a job for them when they return.

On Tuesday, the U.S Supreme Court voted 6-2 to uphold the state law, but the ruling came five years after Garland had her baby.
