A federal judge in Texas has ruled against the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, stating that it was passed without a quorum in Congress, thereby violating the U.S. Constitution. This decision blocks the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) from enforcing the law against the state of Texas, creating uncertainty for pregnant workers in the state. The ruling has raised concerns about the potential for further legal challenges against other labor-related laws passed through the same spending package. Legal experts suggest that the U.S. Supreme Court may need to intervene to provide clarity on the matter.
