“that at all times pertinent herein, plaintiff had performed and was performing her duties as a receptionist/office manager for the North End Veterinary Clinic in a satisfactory manner. The reason given for her termination is pretextual and not true. Plaintiff asserts that the reason for her termination was that she had become pregnant and delivered a child and that she was, therefore, wrongfully terminated in violation of public policy and City of Tacoma Ordinance 1.29 et seq. which provides that she has the right to be free from employment discrimination because of her sex. Plaintiff asserts that her termination was wrongful in that it violated public policy against such discrimination as set forth in RCW 49.60 et seq., Tacoma Municipal Code 1.29 et seq., 42 U.S.C.2000e(k) and/or Washington State Equal Rights amendment, Article 31 sec. 1 of the Washington State Constitution.[ [4] ]”
