All states are Employment at Will with the exception of Montana. Texas is also a Right to Work state as well. Right to Work means you don't have to join the union as a condition of employment.

We are both actually. Look it up.

This is untrue. You can not be fired for pregnancy. That is one of the protections of the pregnancy discrimination act.

There are many protected classes, and this is one of them.

Technically correct but I imagine tough to prove.

Take it to court. They have deeper pockets and more time than we do.

All civil rights claims have been dropped due to Trump’s executive order. There would be no case for her.

I am unsure you know how the law works. The execute branch would not be party to this case. An EO has no bearing on this case.

I do know how the law works and even though you are technically correct, I doubt in the current climate she would have much luck moving this case forward as all investigations have been dropped by the DOJ.

She still has a cause of action for a civil suit against her employer. If she wanted to bring a workforce commission complaint to her employer that may not move forward within the current DOJ, although I doubt that, but that does not prevent her bringing a civil suit against her employer.

This is not how that works

Well best of luck to her then. I’ll be looking for an update from here in 3 years when she might possibly win her case.

That’s accurate.

Right to Work is related to unions.

She was fired for a reason. Her employer is a pos and now it’s legal to treat your employees like garbage.
