Fact Pattern 2: The same restaurant in Fact Pattern 1 has a policy that all pregnant employees must not be employed as regular waitstaff and must instead either work as a hostess or bartender only as their belief is waitstaff is too strenuous work and would require them to allow work breaks for rest and customers prefer waitstaff without bulging midsections. A group of pregnant employees bring suit. What type of discrimination would they allege and what would be the basis of their claim? Is it a different type of discrimination than Fact Pattern 1?
