Guaranteeing Lactation Accommodations for All Workers
Empowering Workers to Nurse and Pump Milk on Their Own Terms
Federal law and many states require employers to give nursing parents time and space to express breastmilk in the workplace. We educate and empower nursing parents to exercise their rights at work. To learn more, visit the Workplace Rights Hub, our state by state legal guide to understanding and asserting your rights to breastfeeding in the workplace. You can also visit our “Talking to Your Boss About Your Pump” series (created in partnership with WorkLife Law) to help you figure out how to discuss your breastfeeding needs with your employer.
Advocating for State Protections
A Better Balance is working to improve enforcement of state-level lactation laws and to expand protections for nursing mothers at work and beyond. We fight for stronger statewide break time and space laws, with recent victories in Georgia, South Carolina, and New York.
