You don't have to fight workplace discrimination alone.
By the time Chelsey Glasson filed a lawsuit for pregnancy discrimination against tech giant Google, she had lost the job she once loved and had gone against the advice of trusted professionals.
Many thought she would lose everything. Instead, her faith in fairness, reparation, and equal opportunity was restored.
In Black Box, Chelsey shares her story and provides the strategies you need to pursue justice for yourself and your family in the fight against pregnancy and maternity discrimination in the workplace. A deeply ingrained prejudice, pregnancy discrimination poses a variety of hardships for its victims, including judgment from friends and coworkers and a newfound, ever-present sense of self-doubt. If you've encountered pregnancy discrimination, though, you have options. A tale of retaliation, redemption, and the quest for justice, Black Box is an empowering memoir and insightful guide for reclaiming confidence and making justice accessible to all.
