To answer Susi's question:
>At our first committee meeting one issue that came up is: how does a
company justify a benefit that isn't applicable to all employees (ie, the
men in this case)...

It *is* beneficial to all when the employee is at work because her child is
not sick, or because they haven't had to take time to train a new employee
because the mom decided to stay home with her baby.
The mom is not pumping "for fun", after all.
