Hello {!firstname_fix}, It's Izzy from the MoneyMagpie team, back with another fortnightly boxset. This is the newsletter where I round up some of our greatest articles, containing the most helpful tips and tricks, all based around a theme. Today's theme? Know your rights! As consumers, we often take rules and regulations and face value, accepting what businesses, our employers and the news tells us. I'm guilty of it myself - I often just accept things as fact before really looking into them. But it is SO important to know the legalities behind things such as maternity leave, buying in shops, rental rights and
more. You don't have to become a lawyer or legal whizz to do this. Luckily, we have loads of great articles jam-packed with all the info you need, should the worst case scenario happen. Know your rights, and don't get blindsided! Speak soon, Izzy x |

The change of season brings another great delight: sales shopping! Unfortunately, bargain-hunting Brits could be left out of pocket in the seasonal sales due to common consumer rights myths.

Imagine suddenly being sacked from your job. After spending years building your career, it’s all taken away in just one moment. Why? Because you told your boss you are pregnant. This happened to Joeli Brearley. And she quickly realised she wasn’t alone - 54,000 women a
year are forced out of their job because they dared to procreate, and three quarters of working mothers face workplace discrimination. And this was before the pandemic, with its never-ending cycle of extraordinary childcare challenges and overt pregnancy and maternity discrimination, resulting in a tsumani of mothers exiting the labour force. Pregnant Then Screwed is an expose of the unscrupulous work practices and systems that we've been conditioned to accept, and a toolkit on how
to challenge them.
