Do they have the same type of job as you do? The employer must be able to articulate the reasons why you were not treated... View More

Reach out to an employment attorney in your state for a consultation. It sounds like this pay cut came right after you announced your pregnancy, and discrimination based on pregnancy is unlawful.
