Pregnancy and Pumping Rights

In this episode, Erin Hart, Allison Glass and Sara Jane Baldwin discuss rights for pregnant employees and for pumping at work. They cover:

• Changes in the Minnesota's Women's Economic Security Act (WESA), which include more frequent breaks, seating arrangements, and lifting limits for pregnant employees.
• A focus on creating safe, private spaces for pumping that are not bathrooms, with access to electrical outlets.
• The definition of retaliation against employees who assert these rights is more robust in the new legislation.
• Resources and tools for pregnant and pumping workers to know their rights.
