All sorts of emotions will be running through a women’s head when she discovers that she is pregnant; will the father be happy, will the father support her or even who is the father?

She should certainly not be worried about whether she is going to lose her job because she is with child. Unfortunately, a worker that cannot fill in their hours in this capitalist, money-hungry society, because of any reason is deemed an unfit worker by some companies, which, we would all agree is a shocking state of affairs.

This was the case when a Sheffield solicitor told her employers that she was pregnant and subsequently got the sack just four weeks after telling them the news. The solicitor had decided to have her baby induced early on in the pregnancy in order to save her own life; the baby was born alive, but tragically passed away as a result of being born prematurely. The solicitor claimed that her employer’s attitude had led to the complications and that this could re-occur if she were to try for another child.

She received a great result after the trauma that she had faced, when she won a court case against her employers on the grounds of sexual discrimination and unfair dismissal.

The firm made an attempt to defend their actions by stating that she had been let go on the grounds of gross misconduct; according to the solicitor this was not true, as there had been no previous causes for concern and that any errors that she had made were no different to those made by other employees who had not been so unceremoniously sacked.

The Sheffield solicitor won on two counts of unfair dismissal and another charge of wrongful dismissal as well as the sex discrimination complaint that she made. It was the moral victory that she was overjoyed about winning; the financial compensation that she was to receive would be decided later on.
