Child care center settles pregnancy bias case

CHICAGO — An Illinois child care center has agreed to pay $31,000 to settle a pregnancy discrimination case brought by the federal government.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleged that Adventures in Learning discriminated against a pregnant worker at one of its sites, refusing to allow her to work after her fourth month of pregnancy.

Under the agreement, the Aurora-based childcare company must train its employees on prevention of pregnancy discrimination and report to the EEOC for the next two years.
