The EEOC's Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) requires a covered employer to provide a “reasonable accommodation” to a qualified employee’s or applicant’s known limitations related to, affected by, or arising out of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, unless the accommodation will cause the employer an “undue hardship.”

The PWFA went into effect on June 27, 2023 and on April 15, 2024 the EEOC issued its final regulation to carry out the law. The final regulation goes into effect on June 18, 2024.

In this episode, Mark, Vec, and Jenin discuss this regulation.

NCLA continues to fight on behalf of Honorable Judge Pauline Newman as she faces unjust attempts from her colleagues to remove her from a constitutionally appointed lifetime position as a Federal Cir. Judge. This case isn’t just about restoring her to the bench—it is about the very independence of the federal judiciary and the ability of each federal judge to fulfill the office constitutionally entrusted to her.

Mark and Vec are joined by NCLA Senior Litigation Counsel Geg Dolin who provides updates on Judge Pauline Newman’s case against the Judicial Council of the Federal Circuit.

NCLA launched a Complaint against the SEC challenging the agency’s unconstitutional “Consolidated Audit Trail.” The CAT is the largest government-mandated mass collection of personal financial data in American history. Without any statutory authority, SEC is forcing brokers, exchanges, clearing agencies and alternative trading systems to capture and send detailed information on every investor’s trades in U.S. markets to a centralized database, which SEC and private regulators can access forever.

Mark and Vec are joined by NCLA Senior Litigation Counsel Andrew Morris to discuss this unlawful, unprecedented seizure and mass surveillance scheme.

In NCLA's SEC v. Spartan Securities Group, the SEC brought 14 counts against Appellants, alleging their participation in two schemes to aid and abet the creation of fake publicly traded companies and subsequent issuance of stock between December 2009 and August 2014.

After a 12-day trial in July 2021, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Appellants on 13 of the 14 counts charged. The sole remaining count in favor of SEC—that Appellants made materially misleading statements or omissions in connection with the purchase of the issuers’ securities—led the court to award various monetary and equitable remedies, including disgorgement.

In this episode, Vec is joined by NCLA's Kara Rollins to discuss the case and the SEC’s request for disgorgement.
