Carolina Cambrils, reporter of the television program "Andalucía Directo" has filed a lawsuit for null dismissal against the producer of this program and the network that broadcasts it.
According to her, she was fired when she requested the discharge due to a risk pregnancy, something the company denies. The facts coincide on both sides but their interpretation is completely different.
The fired reporter worked in this program for two years without interruption, linking work or service contracts every three months.
Precisely only three months ago, according to the reporter, who had been given the place in Seville, the most quoted among the reporters of this television program that has been broadcast for almost a decade.
@ jesusrivera222 I am being a mother. And it seems that some have decided that this is incompatible with returning to TV. I have been fired from 7 months

She points out that this position does not show the intention of the company to do without it, so when He received notice of the end of the contract from the company via mailIt was an unpleasant surprise.
According to the company, the worker requested to leave due to pregnancy while on sick leave. According to Carolina Cambrils, the dismissal was communicated to him, two days after requesting the Mutual Universal the discharge for risk pregnancy.
Forbidden to get pregnant
The difficulties of women to make professional life and motherhood compatible start from gestation, as in the case mentioned.
The laws are supposed to protect us, but for many women, getting pregnant means having a Damocles sword on their heads in the workplace, a penalty that frightens them, even if the company is later forced to pay the dismissed woman compensation for having broken that law.
It is not the first time that the news surprises us with implausible realities, such as when we were talking about companies that request a certificate that shows that you are not pregnant when you access a job or a job promotion.
How many reporters or presenters have you seen on TV wearing pregnancy? A few decades ago the word was a taboo but it is that today, it is still a reality that barely exists on the small screen with few exceptions.
