Joking About Pregnancy

You know, some of us figure a pregnant joke or two is just something that comes with the territory. It's no big deal. Well, those days are over. This video shows how a simple joke or two might lead to harassment. Remember, when it comes to your co-workers - the safest thing to do is… if you can't say something nice... just don't say anything at all.

Additional Information

Someone who is pregnant is a member of a protected group under the law. Repeated comments or jokes about a co-worker's pregnancy can create a hostile working environment.
