Dear friends, We've received this message in our WABA guestbook, please, someone could help us sending an answer to Paige Ericson? It's a very interesting situation and can be a good opportunity to "advocacy" - especially for the US citizens! Thanks in advance, Denise Arcoverde >Date: Fri, 6 Feb 1998 19:07:14 -0300 (GMT-0300) >Reply-to: [log in to unmask] (Paige Ericson) >From: [log in to unmask] (Paige Ericson) >Subject: New message to Forum WBW97 > >See the new message to add in Guestbook: > >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Paige Ericson >2/06/98 >USA >Computer Specialist >I do not have a message but would really appreciate your help/input. I have just returned to work from maternity leave and after two months I was informed that I could not use the refrigerator for the pumped milk. I work for the Federal government and would think that with so much emphasis on family, they would be more accomodating, but I am finding out the opposite. Do you know of any laws that protect my rights or that they must accomodate me? I have told them that my son comes first and may have to take more time off if I can't pump at work (until he's a year old-in 6 months). Now they are watching my every move (clocking my breaks when I pump). I hope that if you can't help that you could please refer me to someone in the states. Thank you! > >------------------------------------------------------ > > Denise Arcoverde **************** World Breastfeeding Week International Coordinator Origem site: http://www.elogica.com.br/aleitamento WABA site: http://www.elogica.com.br/waba Personal site: http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Spa/3176 ICQ UIN: 4127955
