From The Washington Times: "An international union of airline flight attendants that fought for 16 years to get a federal law extended to its members giving employees time off for the birth and care of the newborn child has been accused of retaliating against one of its senior employees for taking maternity leave.
Stephani Lewis, a senior attorney for the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA), has filed a federal lawsuit claiming she was denied a promotional pay raise after she told her bosses she was pregnant and would be taking maternity leave under the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act.
Mrs. Lewis, a staff attorney for the union since 1996, said she began experiencing "a hostile work environment" after telling her bosses in August 2009 that she was pregnant with her fourth child and would be taking maternity leave in the new year. The act, among other things, says employers must grant an eligible employee up to 12 workweeks of unpaid leave during any 12-month period for the birth and care of the newborn child."

Union hypocrisy. Who would have thought of that?
