Companies Busted for Not Giving Working Moms a Place to Pump

Back in spring 2010, we reported on new legislation that affords working moms regular breaks and a place that’s not a bathroom to breastfeed and/or pump. Although the official rules have yet to been finalized, the Department of Labor has already been citing companies for failure to make accommodations. So far, 23 companies have been cited. If they don’t comply, they could be slapped with a fine.
