Hicks v. Tuscaloosa

The Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) was put in place to prevent discrimination against a woman for being pregnant. The PDA states that there can be no discrimination “on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.” Related medical conditions are used as an overreaching term and therefore includes the issues that come with breastfeeding, as it is intrinsically intertwined with pregnancy. Stephanie Hicks, the plaintiff in Hicks v. Tuscaloosa case, was denied accommodations because of her pregnancy-related medical condition and ultimately resigned from her position.

Pregnancy Discrimination in the Workplace

Since their integration into the workplace, women have become an important part of today’s labor force. In recent years, working women have made strides to become a critical part of the labor force while simultaneously raising and supporting their families. According to Pew Research Center, mothers serve as the sole or primary provider in 40 percent of households with children. Despite this progress, women have faced a variety of obstacles in the workplace, including one of the most prominent issues: pregnancy discrimination.

I highly recommend Steven Sack. You'll get efficiency, experience, and respect.I was a part of a structured layoff and was referred to Steven Sack. I'm really glad I was able to have him look over my contract and termination and give me the peace of mind that I was treated fairly and walked away with the best possible terms. When you're suddenly let go, emotions and stress can run hotter than normal, but Steven is a sensible, realistic, and pragmatic person who respects your situation and helps you understand what's going on. He brings his experience so that you can breathe a little easier in letting him handle the negotiations and what would be stressful conversations to handle yourself. He's communicative and will let you know the status as things progress, so you're not worrying about updates. Again, I highly recommend you reach out no matter your situation as the consultation process is very easy and Steven is very responsive.

From our first interaction I knew that Mr. Sack was the right lawyer for me. He is a man of strong character who truly believes in fighting for what is right. He has a deep passion for the law & his clients. Mr. Sack doesn’t just talk a good game he stands behinds his convictions. He is direct & to the point when speaking with you. He said from the start that he would be honest & straight forward with me & he was, even when I did not necessarily want to hear the truth. He is compassionate & truly listens to his clients, but he will always tell them the hard truths about their case.Mr. Sacks years of experience speak for itself. Within a matter of several phone calls & emails to myself, my employer & their council he negotiated for me a much-improved severance package. A package that reflected my years of dedicated service, & the value I brought to my former employer. I was as a 23-year veteran employee with an impeccable personnel file & a strong reputation both inside the company & within my field.Bottom line, Mr. Sack is a seasoned professional with a direct, no-nonsense, take-charge approach towards working with his clients & negotiating for them. I would highly recommend him & would not hesitate to use his services again.-Christine TenEyck

This review comes less than 1 week of meeting Steven. From the first telephone call he was confident, professional and honest. He comes with experience that equal results. I was referred to Steven by another law firm for his expertise with my employment situation. I’m so happy the connection was made. I was given an appointment for the same evening for a consultation, though I opted for another day. In less than 72 hours..Huge progress was made. I have a ways to go but I’m convinced that I’m in good hands with Steven. I also received a FREE signed hardcover copy of Steven’s best selling book “FIRED!”. Thank you Steven you are THE BEST.. hands down.

Steven Stack helped me with an unfair severance package.I had one session with him and he helped me get triple my severance and additional bonuses by taking his advice and reading his book. If you have an unfair severance, his time and advice is worth it.Steven does good work. He's the real deal. I'm so grateful for his generosity with his time, and helping people in cases big and small.

Steven was so helpful and patient. I had never been terminated from a job or worked with a lawyer before, so I had a lot of questions and anxieties. He not only explained my rights and helped ease my concerns around the situation, but he was even able to negotiate a better severance contract for me. He is incredibly responsive and I look forward to reading his book.

Steven pulled victory from the clutches of defeat. My situation was grim and I had no leverage in negotiating my severance. Steven stepped in, didn't over promise, and got me much better terms. He's great. An absolute miracle worker.

Mr. Sack helped me get a severance when my employer had no intentions of providing me with one, after I was terminated. He tells you the truth; no bs, even though it might not be what you want to hear. He always answered my calls personally and exlpained next steps in details. He fought for my rights, and I'm very pleased with the outcome. Highly recommend!!

Steven is an incredible person that also happens to practice his craft on a level that will impress you out the gate. Hiring him and talking to him will immediately give you peace of mind. One thing to be careful of is that after working with him you will start expecting more from every other lawyer you ever work with!

I first heard of Steven on a morning radio show talking about his new book, Fired! Coincidently soon after that I needed somebody like him.Steven is super smart, very knowledgeable, thorough, and understands what a person is going through who is either accepting an offer or just got laid off or fired. He was very prompt to respond and turned things around within hours. Best part, his hourly rates are very reasonable.Steven is now on my permanent call list for all things employment law.

Mr. Steve Sack did a great job with negotiating my employment separation agreement. He was able to get me more money in severance and an additional week of PTO. In addition, he was diligent with constant follow-up on my behalf with my former employer's attorney (who were very slow to respond), and with me for revisions in the agreement and obtaining the proper signatures over the course of several months. I would definitely recommend him.

Steve Sack truly loves his job and cares about people. He was extremely responsive on all occasions, worked under a tight deadline, and made me laugh along the way.

I'd use him again in a heartbeat and have already recommended him to others.

Attorney Steven Sack fights for the little guy/gal/person. He was very kind and generous to help me, knowing that my case was pretty small compared to others. To me, this speaks volumes to his character and shows he does what he does because he truly cares. He also helped me to get a better outcome for my situation, and I am so grateful for that.

I can’t say enough great things about Steven. I knew from our first call that he was different from all of the other lawyers I consulted with, and believe me, I spoke with many. His expertise is apparent and proved incredibly valuable during negotiations. He is extremely transparent, which is hard to come by nowadays, and was always quick to respond and provide updates as soon as they happened.Not only does he know his stuff but he actually cared about the details and circumstances, which personally meant a lot to me and put me at ease during a very difficult time. After a really long search I began to give up hope of finding representation that wasn’t only focused on “what was in it for them” Steven was that needle in the haystack that completely changed my mind. I can’t thank or recommend him enough!

Brent LaFlam

22:26 21 Jun 21

Steve is the real deal. He helped me navigate a tough time for me (after being part of an unlucky group of employees laid off). He reviewed my severance package, leveled with me straight what was and wasn’t possible, checked in on every step of the process, and in the end — he was able to negotiate a better package for me. I would not have been able to do any of this without his expertise. I highly recommend you consider his services for your employment legal issues, he has the solutions! Thank you again, Steve!

Mr. Sack took my case where other attorney said that I don't have a case and got me a good package from my employer within 2 weeks period.

Thank you Mr. Sack!

Steven is an outstanding lawyer. He is quick to understand the facts of a case and presents a very amicable attitude towards opposition lawyers. His friendliness and demeanor uncover a human aspect to the legal profession that is often underestimated. I cannot stress enough the reality and truth that the human element matters, sometimes even more than the facts of the case itself. Go with Steven if you need a quick assessment and want to have all your bases covered. He will do everything in his power to get you the best deal possible.

I cannot say enough good things about Steven. He is my absolute hero. After being laid off from a job of 14 years, I was devastated, confused and afraid of my future. Steven immediately made me feel at ease. He got right back to me and always kept me up to date on what was going on with my case. It was a complicated case and my previous employers were tough. But Steven fought for every penny for me and got me more than they originally offered. He was clear and always honest. He is a straight shooter and never tried to “over-sell” what he could do for me. HIRE HIM NOW. You will not be disappointed and he will fight for you. Steven is a true gem.

I was introduced to andrew sack who took over my case he got me a fair severance and treated me with compassion and they were very straight forward with me.

Steven Sack was an extremely professional attorney. And while the situation may not have been exactly what I wanted to hear, he was truthful and to the point about my position. To me, that is what you want from your attorney, professional guidance.

Steven is a very helpful and passionate attorney. I was very pleased with his consultation and as a result hired Steven to negotiate my separation agreement. Steven also did not charge me anything extra. I only was charged for the consultation, though I thought Steven's services were excellent. Happy to refer his services to anyone in need as his passionate to help workers was extremely helpful in putting my mind at ease.

Steven Sack delivers. He is knowledgeable and direct. He listens. He understands. He is compassionate. He is responsive. Steven is always accessible by phone, by email. He told me exactly what he was going to do and why. Steven then did everything he said he was going to do! I highly recommend Steven's services.

Steven worked on my case and was able to handle my severance quickly and professionally. Steven's sense of prognosing the outcome of my case was accurate, and I ended up getting a better severance package from my previous employer then they had initially offered. Through all of my anxiety for the result of the severance, Steven was patient with me and helped me regain my composure. He was quick to respond to my inquiries and explained every step of the process to me throughly. Steven Sack is truly a 5-star employee attorney!!!

My case was not only handled quickly and judiciously with the least amount of stress, Steven was also spot on about predicting what they were most liked to agree to and touching back base with me following up every time exactly when he said he would. If at any time he was delayed in reconnecting with me, he would always communicate that to give me the heads up. I was blown away by how on top of his game and organized he is, no matter what his volume of clients are at the moment, to be able to maintain such consistency. It is clear Steven has both the depth of experience and knowledge, alongside being a solid/fantastic human being, that is deeply passionate about his work. This kindness and passion comes through in both his work and interactions with clients. I give Steven Sack a Michelin Star 🌟 💫 rating based on my experience working with him!

Steven Mitchell Sack came highly recommended to me by a former colleague. I was hesitant about even contacting an attorney but all doubts dissipated the moment I met Steve. He began our meeting by telling me about his qualifications and experience complete with supporting letters and articles. I had an immediate sense that I was with someone very special. And he is. Steve is a brilliant and successful attorney, passionate about his work, professional, kind, honest and ethical… Steve is the entire package. He successfully represented me and insured that I was not taken advantage of by my former employer. I could not be more pleased with how well my case was handled or how quickly. Steve wrote the book on the rights of employees. Literally, he wrote the book. Steve Sack is the BEST Labor & employment lawyer in New York, bar none.

It was my good fortune to be referred to Mr. Steven Sack by the New York City Bar Legal service to represent me in a proceeding this past year.I was immediately put at ease by his understanding, honest, and forthright manner. His council and legal representation allowed me to extricate myself from a difficult situation with integrity and grace. I would unequivocally recommend Mr. Steven Sack to represent me in any legal matter that may arise in the future.

Steven is an excellent attorney. He is a fierce lawyer and this is a type of lawyer you want to have him on your side. He knows the laws and he is a very compassionate, knowledgeable, sharp, fair and just lawyer. He will respond to your calls and he would not waste your time. And, it is my pleasure to know a man like this. He surprised me, and I am so glad he is my lawyer. He is someone that I am and will always admire.

Steven Sack, Attorney, began counseling me on employee rights and how to negotiate with employers for the best possible compensation package in 1998. The outcome was spectacular for me. My employment was cut short after 4 years due to a death in the family, and Steven Sack stepped in on behalf of the family to save our family business from being sold. His skill dealing with the automobile manufacturer, key employees and family set the stage for a successful transition to the next generation, and preservation of the family legacy. He serves as corporate counsel to our family franchised auto business, as well as a Director on the board. Whether he is advising our HR Department on personnel matters, analyzing potential business deals, or giving advice to the myriad of day-to-day activities that occur in a large automobile dealership, Steven Sack brings a keen analytical and legal mind to each situation. Our business, as well as my personal interests, are safe and secure with Steven Sack part of the team.

I met Steve about 35 years ago when I started my business.During that time, he has not only won every case he worked for me, but I also consider him a trusted friend. Steve has taught me, held my hand in bad times, given me a number of the books he has written, which happen to be extremely informative, and I would trust him with my life. There is nobody in employee/employer law that is better. He has handled other legal matters for me outside, of employee rights, and has always done right by me. Thank you Steve

Steve has virtually become a member of my family. Over the 20 years that I know him, and have done business with him, his integrity and ethics, are eyond reproach. Not only has he succeeded in all of my affairs, but I have also referred him to family and friends, who tell me the same thing. I've never had a bad experience, won all of my cases, and never looked back. If you want a completely competent, well prepared, and tireless attorney to fight for you, look no further than Steve Sack. Respectfully, Don Cambareri
