A federal court kept alive a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit brought by a former laborer against a Denver-based company that is the largest global manufacturer of mozzarella cheese.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael E. Hegarty decided that Concepcion Rios had stated a plausible case for discrimination against Leprino Foods Company after claiming that a plant manager told her that “the only option was to send her home” during her pregnancy “for her own good.”
