Pregnant or Pumping at Work? YOU have new legal rights!

March 8, 2023
If you are pregnant or pumping at work new legislation signed into law at the end of last year offers you new legal protections! Gone are the days of choosing between a healthy pregnancy and a paycheck. No more pumping in storage closets or the bathroom.

SIGN: Don’t rekindle Trump asylum policies! Show some love to migrant families!
