A recent report from the Center for WorkLife Law at the University of California, Hastings College of Law found that two-thirds of alleged breastfeeding discrimination cases led to employees losing their job.
The federal Break Time for Nursing Mothers law requires employers covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to provide basic accommodations for breastfeeding mothers at work. This includes time for women to express milk within a private space that is not a bathroom each time they need to pump — bathrooms are not a sanitary place to handle food for babies or anyone else.
#Breastfeeding workers do have #rights, but they differ state to state.

Murphy said his advice to fellow managers is to put yourself in your employee's shoes and try to make their transition as smooth as you can.
