Pregnancy Disability Benefits Denied: Narrowing the Scope of Title VII

Authors

Barbara Ungar Royston

Abstract

In a recent decision the Supreme Court held that a private employer's disability benefits plan which excluded pregnancy benefits was not discriminatory under Title VII. Although purporting to apply traditional Title VII standards, the Court in fact used an equal protection analysis. The author criticizes this approach and points out the Court's failure to consider facts critical to a comprehensive analysis of the issue.
