I have to ask - breastfeeding is a disability??>>
no, but you'll be happy to know that breastfeeding and pumping moms and
all Superheros will fall under the new administration's proactive and forward
thinking....
"Americans with Superabilities Act"
The ASA prohibits private employers, state and local governments,
employment agencies and labor unions from discriminating against qualified
individuals with superabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing,
advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and
privileges of employment.
An individual with a superability is a person who:
* Has a physical or mental superability that substantially enhances
one or more major life activities;
* Has a record of such an superability; or
* Is regarded as having such an superability
A qualified employee or applicant with a superability is an individual who,
with or without reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential
functions of the job in question. Reasonable accommodation may include, but is
not limited to
* Making existing facilities used by employees readily accessible to
and usable by persons with superabilities.
* Job restructuring, modifying work schedules, reassignment to a
vacant position;
* Acquiring or modifying equipment or devices, adjusting or modifying
examinations, training materials, or policies.......
