Started with AnyComplaint

Sofia documented the timeline showing clear connection between pregnancy announcement and demotion.

The timing and circumstances strongly suggest pregnancy discrimination, which is explicitly prohibited under Article 35-A of the Labour Code. The burden of proof shifts to the employer to show legitimate reasons for the demotion.

Ze dachten dat ik het stilletjes zou accepteren. De formele klacht liet hen het juridische risico inzien. Nu ben ik terug in mijn functie met compensatie.
