But had a job that had timed (and limited) bathroom breaks. When she became pregnant, she "exceeded the limit" and they fired her when she was 5 months pregnant.

(We live in South Florida... one county to the North of the county where Davie is located).

I told her she should sue them for discrimination, but she didn't want to cause waves because they might not give her her final paycheck.

This story is sickening.
