It\u2019s possible. When former President Joe Biden signed the PUMP Act into law, it was going to extend protection to nearly 9 million additional working women. It added to the protections the Break Time for Working Mothers Law offered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing the PUMP Act provided was a woman\u2019s right to sue her employer if it violated breastfeeding laws. In 2024, it was reported that around half a dozen class-action lawsuits involving nursing mothers were filed against major companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find out what some of the common violations of breastfeeding laws are and see if your employer is violating your rights. We\u2019ll explore some pregnancy and breastfeeding discrimination lawsuits, their outcomes, and clear up what <a href=\"https:\/\/shegerianconniff.com\/dev\/\">your rights are in California.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Breastfeeding Rights in California Workplaces<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the pertinent Federal and California laws that <a href=\"https:\/\/shegerianconniff.com\/dev\/what-are-your-rights-as-a-breastfeeding-mom\/\">protect your right<\/a> to pump milk while at work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>FLSA\/PUMP Act<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The PUMP Act falls under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). It requires an employer to provide a worker with reasonable break time to express milk for a full year after the child\u2019s birth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2022, the PUMP Act became a law and built on those previous protections. It now covers agricultural workers, home care workers and managers, nurses, retail and restaurant workers, taxi drivers, teachers, and truck drivers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The room for breast milk expression must:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be available when needed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be excluded from security cameras or web conferencing cameras.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be private and free from intrusion.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have signs or locks to keep people from entering while a mom is using the room.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include a chair, electrical outlets, sink, and table or desk.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not be a bathroom.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not be visible to the public or coworkers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the employer cannot provide a refrigerator to store breast milk safely, the employee must be allowed to bring a cooler or other item for refrigeration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>California Labor Codes 1030 to 1034<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much of what is in<a href=\"https:\/\/shegerianconniff.com\/dev\/california-breastfeeding-laws-at-work\/\"> California\u2019s labor codes<\/a> is the same as what FLSA and the PUMP Act cover. The differences include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers must create and implement policies regarding lactation accommodation that include how to make a request, how they will respond to the request, and how to file a complaint with the Labor Commission if there\u2019s a violation. Those policies are included in the employee handbook.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All responses to a lactation accommodation request must be in writing. They cannot be sent in an email and provided in a verbal response.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common Ways Employers Violate Breastfeeding Laws<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. Bathrooms as a Lactation Room<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When my first child was born, a local retailer expected shoppers and employees who needed to breastfeed or pump milk to use a sofa within the bathroom entry. It\u2019s not enough.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even the cleanest bathroom is not suitable as a lactation room because it\u2019s a high-traffic area. If people are barging in and distracting you, it\u2019s a problem. That\u2019s why bathrooms are not acceptable. If your employer is making you use a bathroom, it\u2019s against the law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Failing to Pay When the Working Mom Isn\u2019t Relieved of All Duties<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your manager allows you to take time to pump breast milk, but you\u2019re required to bring the work laptop and respond to emails while you\u2019re in the lactation room. If you\u2019re not fully relieved of duties during this break, you must be paid for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While breaks are often covered, it\u2019s not a guarantee. Your employer cannot withhold pay, even if you\u2019re also pumping milk and may be slightly distracted. You get paid for that time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Ignoring Remote and Traveling Workers\u2019 Rights<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remote workers and those who work off-site or on the road are entitled to the same rights regarding breaks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your employer cannot control what your accommodations are like when it\u2019s time to pump milk, but they have to allow you to take as many breaks as you need. They cannot mandate that you be on the phone or a video call while also pumping milk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Lack of a Mandatory Written Policy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employee handbooks must include a written policy on how to request lactation accommodation. It must be provided to all new employees at the time of hire and again when a worker requests pregnancy leave.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Making Jokes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you have co-workers or managers making comments about how you\u2019re taking another break or that you\u2019re away from your desk so often that they forget you\u2019re here? It\u2019s not okay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This creates a hostile work environment. It can be damaging and hurtful. You might feel embarrassed and start taking fewer breaks. It\u2019s not acceptable and should be addressed immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>6. No Written Response<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">California law requires a written response to a lactation accommodation request. If you don\u2019t receive a written response, your employer is violating your rights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Required Amenities Get Overlooked<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re given a room without a sign or lock, a chair, a table, a sink, and outlets, there\u2019s a problem. Setting up a storage closet isn\u2019t good enough. You must have a sink for washing up, a table for your breast pump, a chair to sit on, and outlets for your pump.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Set Break Times<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your employer allows you to pump breastmilk during your break, but you must take that break at 10 and 2. That\u2019s not acceptable. If your breast fills up before then, you\u2019ll be extremely uncomfortable. Break times have to be on your schedule. The only exception is if a break would be a hardship for your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Thinking They Don\u2019t Have Enough Employees for the Laws to Matter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, employers believe that breastfeeding laws apply only to companies with 50 or more employees. California law differs. Only certain industries are exempt when there are fewer than 50 employees, such as agriculture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Wanting a Doctor&#8217;s Note<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your employer is asking you to prove you&#8217;re breastfeeding and need lactation accommodations by getting a note from your doctor, it&#8217;s not allowed. You don&#8217;t need a doctor&#8217;s note.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Success Stories From the Courtroom<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From where you\u2019re allowed to express breast milk to when you can, there are several ongoing breastfeeding discrimination cases in the nation. Here are a few that have recently made headlines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>EEOC v. Frontier Airlines<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the EEOC\u2019s help, five pilots filed a complaint against Frontier Airlines for refusing to let workers pump milk while on duty. The airline settled with the pilots and the EEOC without admitting any wrongdoing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going forward, pilots are allowed to pump milk in the cockpit during non-critical parts of the flight. They\u2019ve also provided a list of lactation areas within airports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>EEOC v. Houston Funding<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit overturned a ruling that pregnancy-related conditions ended as soon as a woman gave birth. The case involved a woman who asked her employer what accommodations would be available to her for pumping breast milk when she returned from maternity leave.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At first, she was told to stay home longer. When she asked again, she was told they\u2019d filled her position and fired her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the new ruling, the Fifth Circuit ruled that expressing milk is protected under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act and counts as unlawful sex discrimination. The court sent the case back to the lower court.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>EEOC v. Roundy\u2019s Supermarket<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A bakery worker asked her employer\u2019s permission to keep a water bottle at her station to maintain her milk supply. She was allowed to do so at her first store, but when she was transferred to another store, the manager refused and eventually fired her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hydration is essential for milk supply. Restricting a woman from water and beverages can lead to dehydration, which negatively impacts milk flow. She filed a complaint, and the EEOC stepped in. A pre-litigation settlement failed, so a lawsuit was filed in March 2026<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consult a Legal Expert on California Pregnancy Discrimination Laws and Protections<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re an employer with workers who may ask for accommodations to pump breast milk, it\u2019s best to have a clear understanding of the nuances of these laws. <a href=\"https:\/\/shegerianconniff.com\/dev\/contact-our-employment-law-firm-shegerian-conniff\/\">Shegerian Conniff<\/a> can help you draw up clear, legal policies and ensure you\u2019re not making any mistakes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a worker and believe your rights have been violated after requesting breastfeeding accommodations, call us.
