A woman should not be fired for failing to return to work two weeks after childbirth. So we and the Women's Law Project are suing. https://stembercohn.com/womens-law-project-joins-pregnancy/
Last week our firm, working with lead counsel Law Office of Timothy P. O'Brien, obtained a verdict approaching $900,000 for a fired Allegheny County Jail (ACJ) employee. Over a career spanning almost 30 years, Walter Mikulan had worked his way up through the ranks from corrections officer to Major when ACJ Warden Orlando Harper fired him. The jury found that Harper terminated Mikulan because of his age and because he took time off under the Family and Medical Leave Act (F...MLA). The verdict will increase to almost $1.5 million once liquidated damages and attorney's fees are added. Maureen Davidson-Welling of Stember Cohn & Davidson-Welling, LLC, served as trial co-counsel along with Attorney O'Brien. No person who grows old in a job should be fired from that job because they are believed to be too old. And no person should lose a job for taking leave that is protected under the FMLA.

The most valabule information in this Wired article is the comments. Be extremely careful how you handle digital information on company equipment when you leave your job -- what (if anything) you delete, what (if anything) you copy. It is not uncommon for employers to conduct a forensic review of terminated employees' laptops and other equipment. Doing the wrong thing is easy for your former employer to discover and costly for you. The best advice is don't put personal information on company equipment, and don't conduct personal business of any kind (like checking your personal email, etc.) on a company network. That way you do not have to worry about deleting anything when you leave.
Too many U.S. companies abuse H1-B visas, attempt to silence displaced workers with non-disparagement clauses. http://www.nytimes.com//laid-off-americans-required-to-zip
