If these claims are true, then I hope this mother wins her case and IMO her supervisor should be found guilty of a crime.

(STNG) CHICAGO A woman who was pregnant with twins claims in a federal lawsuit that she lost one child after her employer, Gap Inc., made her "lift heavy boxes."
Amanda Gross claims that while lifting heavy boxes at the Gap, she went into premature labor and gave birth to twins fourteen weeks early.
The suit says one child died and the other had serious health problems.
Gross worked at the Gap at Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, according to the suit. The suit claims she started working at the store in May 2002 and was later terminated in November 2004.
According to the suit, she informed the Gap that she was pregnant with twins and her doctor told her to restrict the amount of hours she worked. The doctor also advised her to not lift more than five pounds at a time.
The suit claims Gross told the Gap about her doctors orders, but the clothing store refused to accommodate her situation. She was told she could leave.
The suit claims she was discriminated against because she was pregnant and was also denied a promotion in May 2004.
The company also cancelled her health insurance, the suit claims.
