employers to provide the worker "reasonable accommodation".? Reasonable 
accommodation?doesn't?mean automatically reassigning the worker, but 
rather 
after she has self-identified as wanting to declare her pregnancy to 
management, 
working with her to provide her?with the information that she needs 
to?determine 
what she would like to do, or needs to do for her career and her 
pregnancy."

It seems to me that compliance the regs for "Declared Pregnant Workers" 
would keep an employer in compliance with EEOC requirements.  But also 
remember that a worker must file a complaint before EEOC can get involved, 
and workers rarely file complaints when they believe they are being 
treated fairly.
