Pregnant women cause “damage and loss” to employer, says ST letter

Ms Chin - and other like-minded pregnant women in employment - fails to understand the damage and loss caused to an employer (especially small and medium-sized enterprises) by having to maintain on its payroll an employee who, throughout her maternity leave, saddles her colleagues with heavier workloads, does not contribute to the company's revenue and causes loss to the company by continuing to draw pay.
