None of this sounds like discrimination.
If you shouldn't have been doing some of the tasks at your job because of your pregnancy (the lifting, bending over, etc) then you should have brought in a note from your doctor and flat-out refused to do those tasks.
As far as the socks go, you were violating a rule. The fact that they decided to actually enforce it without any prior warning was probably not the best way to do it, but, at the same time, you were in violation of a dress code policy. He had every right to send you (and any other employee not wearing black socks) home immediately. |

Nothing happened to you because you were pregnant. You got in trouble for violating their dress code.
What does being 9 months pregnant have to do with your manager asking to see your socks? Nothing. You chose to work so close to the end of your pregnancy. They didn't make you do it. And they didn't treat you any differently than anyone else because you were pregnant. The fact that they hired you when you were seven months along is a pretty good show to me that they don't care you're pregnant or not and that their actions had nothing to do with it. |

No, it sounds like the opposite of discrimination to me. They were just holding you to the same dress code standards as everyone else. You shouldn't have broken it if you knew the rules.
Try applying elsewhere after the baby. |
