Kia works for Walleye Warehouse, LLC, ("WW") an online supplier of fishing gear. Kia works as a warehouse floor associate in WW's Grand Rapids, MI based warehouse. Her job responsibilities include stocking inventory, filling and boxing orders and carrying boxed order to WW's shipping docks for delivery. When placed on restrictions by her physician, Kia notifies WW she is pregnant. Kia requests WW honor the lifting restrictions imposed by her physician and presents appropriate documentation to WW management. Specifically, Kia asks that she not be required to carry the boxed orders she prepares to the shipping docks for delivery. Though she is unsure why, Kia notes that two of her coworkers, Phil and Maureen, do not carry their own boxes to the shipping docks. Otherwise, Kia assures management she can fulfill the remaining requirements of her job. WW denies Kia's request and indicates she will be terminated because she cannot perform the job of warehouse floor associate. Has WW violated the law? Why or why not?
