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.
