Does anyone have the information on accomodation in the workplace re: Pumping?

I know this was discussed when I was PG with G, but we had a mother's room in the building with WiFi and a separate nursing room, so I did not notebook it. The office I work in now is not great at any "reasonable accomodation" issues, and there is NO WHERE to pump privately. We have an open bullpen (thanks Bloomberg) and there qare no vacant offices with doors. Even the conference room is without a lock, and I feel like I am going to have a very big battle when I return from maternity.

To make things harder I am the only one here who BFs. Chat Icon


I remember reading way back when that the office has to make accomodations for a nursing mother. Is that true? Does anyone have any info that I can begin to collect?

TIA

that IS true. they must give you a designated space to BF (NOT a bathroom stall), if you don't have a private office. Call a lactation consultant or la leche for paperwork explaining the law... Chat Icon
