In recent decades, as women entered the US workforce in increasing
numbers, they faced the conundrum of how to maintain breastfeeding
and hold down full-time jobs. In 2010, the Lactation at Work Law
(an amendment to the US Fair Labor Standards Act) mandated
accommodations for lactating women. This book examines the federal
law and its state-level equivalent in Indiana, drawing on two waves
of interviews with human resource personnel, supervising managers,
and lactating workers. In many ways, this simple law - requiring
break time and privacy for pumping - is a success story. Through
advocacy by allies, education of managers, and employee initiative,
many organizations created compliant accommodations. This book
shows legal scholars how a successful civil rights law creates
effective change; helps labor activists and management personnel
understand how to approach new accommodations; and enables workers
to understand the possibilities for amelioration of workplace
problems through internal negotiations and legal reforms.
