You may recall that your client, Hilda, has a business, manufacturing and selling lotions. At her business (non-union), she employs 200 people. One of the workers, Sadie, 40 years old, is requesting additional time to complete her duties, a special ergonomic chair, and light-duty work assignments. Sadie is pregnant and has a condition related to her pregnancy. She also asserts that she suffers from long-COVID.

Please make a draft legal letter to Hilda explaining the law regarding Sadie's requests.Would the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act be something that Hilda has to comply with? What is the status of that law and what does it provide? Using Nexis Uni, set forth the federal law that addresses this issue. Be sure to examine case law and to discuss at least one case. Please cite it in accordance with the Bluebook.

Can Hilda deny the request? What additional questions would you want to ask Hilda and Sadie?

What role does the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission play in these types of cases?

With respect to Sadie, explain what access to justice issues are related to this sort of factual scenario, and make suggestions about how to reduce the legal burdens associated with such problems.
