LA's Akopyan Law Firm, A.P.C. Protects Manufacturing Workers Facing Pregnancy Discrimination in Southern California
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, March 18, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Akopyan Law Firm, A.P.C., a prominent Southern California employment law firm, fights for manufacturing workers experiencing pregnancy discrimination across Los Angeles, Kern, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties. With a strong track record of success, the firm ensures that employees receive the legal support they need to combat discrimination and seek justice.
Pregnancy discrimination remains a significant issue across industries, including manufacturing, where physical demands and workplace policies can sometimes lead to unfair treatment of pregnant employees. California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) make it illegal for employers to discriminate based on pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. However, many workers still face wrongful termination, reduced work hours, denied promotions, and lack of reasonable accommodations due to pregnancy.
Akopyan Law Firm, A.P.C. provides fearless representation to employees who experience pregnancy discrimination, helping them understand their rights and take legal action when necessary.
'Too often, pregnant employees, especially those in physically demanding jobs, find themselves unfairly treated or even pushed out of the workforce. We are committed to holding employers accountable and ensuring that every worker receives the protections they deserve under the law,' said Mr. Michael Akopyan, spokesperson for Akopyan Law Firm, A.P.C.
The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) provides robust protection for pregnant employees in California. Under this law, employers with five or more employees must provide reasonable accommodations for pregnancy-related conditions and cannot discriminate based on pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.
Reasonable accommodations may include temporary transfers to less strenuous positions, more frequent breaks, modified work schedules, and providing appropriate equipment or seating arrangements. Manufacturing environments often present particular challenges regarding these accommodations.
'When a manufacturing employee experiences discrimination because of pregnancy, the impacts can be devastating both financially and emotionally,' adds Mr. Akopyan. 'We offer complimentary case evaluations to help folks determine if they have a case. Our goal is to ensure every worker's rights are protected during this important life event.'
The firm has established a strong reputation for successfully representing employment discrimination cases. One client shared: 'I called this week to seek some legal advice, the firm really took the time to listen to me and gave me some very useful and good advice. Thank you for your time.'
Another client emphasized the personal attention received: 'Michael is a very good attorney pays attention to his clients listen to his clients listens to what they're saying what they're going through really takes an interest on all his clients he is an awesome attorney I would recommend it to everybody and anybody that needs a GREAT attorney.'
The Akopyan Law Firm's team brings substantial experience to pregnancy discrimination cases. 'The Akopyan Law firm is spectacular! They are extremely professional, and if you want your case fought with vigor you must consult Ani and Michael Akopyan. Just look at their track record of wins for their clients and their many years of experience. The Akopyan Law firm is always my firm of choice, and I am confident in their skills. I would recommend them to friends and family alike,' shared another satisfied client.
For manufacturing workers experiencing pregnancy discrimination, understanding the legal process is crucial. Under California law, employees typically must obtain a right to sue before pursuing a lawsuit. Akopyan Law Firm guides clients through this process, handling documentation, evidence gathering, and representation throughout negotiations or litigation.
Manufacturing employees who believe they have experienced pregnancy discrimination are can contact Akopyan Law Firm for a no-cost case evaluation by calling (818) 509-9975 or visiting https://www.akopyanlaw.com/ to learn more about their rights and potential legal options.

Who Is Reese Witherspoon's Boyfriend? All About Financier Oliver Haarmann
Reese Witherspoon has been linked to Oliver Haarmann since 2024 A source told PEOPLE in October 2024 that the two were "having fun" together The Legally Blonde actress was seen packing on the PDA with the German financier in July 2025Reese Witherspoon looks smitten with boyfriend Oliver Haarmann! The Morning Show actress has been dating the German financier since 2024, and the two were seen packing on the PDA during a romantic vacation in July 2025. In photos obtained by PEOPLE, the couple were photographed kissing and hugging while taking in the sights on a yacht off the coast of Saint-Tropez, France. PEOPLE confirmed in September 2024 that Witherspoon and Haarmann were dating after they were seen spending time together in New York City earlier that year in July. At the time, a source told PEOPLE that Witherspoon was "taking things slow when it comes to dating." Another insider shared that they were "having fun" and that she "often flies between Nashville and N.Y.C. to see him." Witherspoon's relationship with Haarmann marked her first public romance since getting divorced from Jim Toth in August 2023. The former couple share son Tennessee James Toth. Witherspoon also has daughter Ava Phillippe and son Deacon Phillippe with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe. So, who is Reese Witherspoon's boyfriend, Oliver Haarmann? Here's everything to know about the financier and their romance. Haarmann is a graduate of Brown University and Harvard University, the latter of which he earned a master's in business administration from, per his LinkedIn. The financier started his career at KKR, a global investment firm in London, before leaving to found Searchlight Capital Partners, a private equity firm, in 2010. He has continued his role as a partner where he works with his two cofounders to oversee the firm's activities and portfolio, per his bio on their website. In December 2023, Sportico reported that Haarmann was in negotiations to buy 10% of the New York Islanders. A couple of months later, The New York Post reported that the Islanders confirmed Haarmann did buy a stake in the team, making him the second person to do so in one year. Like Witherspoon, Haarmann was previously married. He and his ex-wife, Mala Gaonkar, divorced after welcoming two children together. Gaonkar is a successful financier herself, starting her own hedge fund, SurgoCap Partners, in 2022. Like her ex-husband, she graduated from Harvard University with a master's in business administration. Before founding her own fund, Gaonkar worked as a founding partner of investment firm Lone Pine Capital. She also is a writer, collaborating with musician David Byrne to write an immersive theater performance in 2016. The two attended the Academy Awards together in March 2023. Along with his ex-wife Gaonkar and their friend, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation veteran Sema Sgaier, Haarmann founded a charity, Surgo Foundation. 'If you don't actually listen to people and find out what they really care about, you're not helping anyone,' Gaonkar told W in May 2017 of the charity's purpose. Witherspoon and Haarmann dined at L'Artusi in N.Y.C. in July 2024 after flying into the city via helicopter the previous day. "She enjoys it but doesn't want it to be a big focus. She's busy with work and her son," a source told PEOPLE of Witherspoon's perspective on dating. "These are her biggest priorities." Before her meetup with Haarmann in the city, Witherspoon spent time with pals Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz over the weekend. Witherspoon's dinner with Haarmann came a year after her divorce with Toth was finalized. "It is with a great deal of care and consideration that we have made the difficult decision to divorce," Witherspoon and Toth said in a statement when announcing their split in March 2023. "We have enjoyed so many wonderful years together and are moving forward with deep love, kindness and mutual respect for everything we have created together." She has previously spoken about the difficulties she experienced following her split, telling Harper's Bazaar in August 2023 that sharing her story herself felt more 'authentic' than letting others tell it, as they did during her split with Phillippe. "To be able to talk to people directly about what's going on in my life and just share it in the way that I share great professional experiences or personal experiences, it feels much more authentic to be able to say things in my own voice and not let somebody else control what's happening," she said. "Then, of course, there's speculation, but I can't control that. All I can do is be my most honest, forthright self and be vulnerable,' she added. Witherspoon shared that while the divorce was a 'vulnerable' time for her, she felt 'very connected' with those going through the same thing as her. One year after they first sparked romance rumors, Witherspoon and Haarmann were seen kissing and hugging while spending time together off the coast of Saint-Tropez. They were photographed swimming in the water while smiling and sharing sweet moments together. Prior to their yacht outing, a source told PEOPLE in October 2024 that he had been getting to know her two sons. "He's spending time with her kids too," the insider shared. "Reese loves that he's a businessman and not into Hollywood." Read the original article on People
