Legal Question in Employment Law in Massachusetts

Getting Fired for being pregnant
Hi
I work in South Attleboro, MA. I was just fired on friday April
18,2008
They said it was because of my attendance. They gave me a written
warning in november
of 2007 for 90 days. I never heard from them again and knew I was
doing much better
from illnesses I've had or the children had. I wasnt on written
warning anymore.
They found out about a week ago that I am pregnant and figured I
would need more time
off and took care of it. Is this legal? They also didnt go through
the steps for dicipline
as described in the handbook.
On another note,the owner of the company actually went into the work
place at 9pm one
evening to warn certain employees not to do cocaine on company
property and could
prove they were but wouldnt get Human Resources involved. I will
except the decision
but I dont feel these acts are appropriate or legal. Any advice or
where I can find it?
Regards

Re: Getting Fired for being pregnant

What kind of company is this (industry, function), how large (locations, employees), do they have insurance, etc?
