PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A Rhode Island woman hired to work for a house cleaning service says in a lawsuit that she was fired just days later after management found out she was pregnant.

The lawsuit filed Monday by the American Civil Liberties Union of Rhode Island on behalf of Bristol resident Julia Schultz alleges the owners of Merry Maids of Rhode Island violated state civil rights law.

The suit seeks damages, reinstatement and an injunction to bar the company from engaging in similar acts.

A woman who answered the phone at Merry Maids said she did not know about the lawsuit and had no comment.
