Is it reasonable and legal for pregnant women in Henan to be refused employment without chest X-ray?

Many occupations need to pass a certain qualification examination, and only after passing the examination can they obtain the corresponding qualifications. A teacher is a profession that needs to pass the teacher qualification examination and certification, and it is possible to become a teacher after passing the examination. Ms. Xu from Yuanyang County, Xinxiang City, Henan Province wanted to be a kindergarten teacher, so she passed the examinations at different levels. In the end, she was refused admission because she was pregnant and could not have a chest X-ray.

Excellent written test results, but rejected due to unqualified physical examination. From July 2065438 to July 2009, Ms. Xu, who lives in Yuanyang County, Xinxiang City, Henan Province, took the unified recruitment examination for local kindergarten teachers. In the written test and interview, Ms. Xu performed very well and ranked very high. The last step before admission is physical examination. Because Ms. Xu was pregnant at that time, one of the physical examinations was chest X-ray, and pregnant women could not check it. At that time, Ms. Xu was also confirmed by other teachers that it didn't matter if she didn't have a chest X-ray, but when she was admitted later, all pregnant women who didn't have a medical examination at that time were excluded and not accepted.

Helpless through legal rights protection Ms. Xu has no choice but to protect her rights and interests through legal channels after repeatedly responding to the problem. The lawsuit was also heard in the local court on June 65438+February 65438+ 10, 2020. In the court, the two sides argued fiercely for themselves, and the court did not announce the results on the spot after the trial ended that day. The specific trial results still need to wait for the court's notice.

No matter how the court hears it, there is no doubt that this matter discriminates against pregnant women. As a pregnant woman, it is an obvious fact that she can't have a chest X-ray examination. However, the employer should combine the medical examination report as the selection criteria for employment qualifications, which is already very obvious gender discrimination. No matter what excuses employers use to rush to recruit people, or any other excuses, they can't cover up the bad behavior of discrimination. I hope the law can uphold justice and give Ms. Xu a fair judgment.
