BUSINESS LAW QUESTION

Lola worked as a certified nursing assistant at Life Care Centers of America, a nationwide geriatric care provider. In June 2019, she informed supervisors of her pregnancy and requested light duty for the last part of her pregnancy. She provided a doctors note supporting her request for a fifteen-pound lifting restriction. Life Care Centers informed her that it only provided light duty to those employees who were injured on the job. Lola's supervisors denied her request and placed her on involuntary, unpaid leave. They told her when she was ready to return to unrestricted duty, she should reapply for her job. On what grounds would Lola file a claim? Is the court likely to rule in her favor? Why or why not?
