According to recent data from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), discrimination reports surged in 2007.  Complaints against employers were up 9% since 2006.  The leading problems include racial discrimination, retaliation for workplace issues, and sex discrimination.

Surprisingly, pregnancy complaints are at a record level as well.  Many people are unaware of the illegal nature of discrimination against pregnant workers.  On the positive side, the high level of complaints evidences increased education and awareness of female workers, who are taking action when they are illegally discriminated against for pregnancy.  Additionally, by taking an active stance, women are refusing to be pushed around in a workplace setting while pregnant.
