Each year the Working Mother magazine publishes a list of the 100
best companies for women to work for based on a wide range of criteria
including work family benefits among others. In their 1994 list they
included nursing mother's room as one of the programs good for women.
That year 20 of the 100 best companies had some form of lactation support.
For those who are interested, here is that list:

American Management Systems     Fairfax, VA     NMR
Arthur Anderson New York, NY    NMR
Baptist Hospital        Miami, FL       NMR
Baxter  Dearfield, IL   NMR
Beth Israel/Deaconess Hospital  Boston, MA      LP
Bureau of National Affairs      Washington, DC  NMR
Calvert Group   Bethesda MD     BP
Cigna   Philadelphia, PA        NMR
Ernst and Young New York, NY    NMR
First Chicago Group     Chicago, IL     NMR
Genentech       San Francisco, CA       NMR
John Hancock Insurance  Boston, MA      NMR
Hewitt  Lincolnshire, IL        NMR
Household International Prospect Heights, IL    NMR
Lincoln National Group  Ft. Wayne IN    NMR
Lutheral General Health Park Ridge, IL  NMR
Marriott        Washington, DC  NMR
Mass Mutual Insurance   Springfield, MA NMR
Mutual of New York      New York, NY    NMR
Northern Trust Corporation      Chicago, IL     LP
Nynex   New York, NY    NMR

NMR = nursing mother's room
LP = lactation program
BP= breast pumps

In addition, the Texas Dept of Public Health gives awards to
companies that are breastfeeding friendly and, at my last
count have about 6 companies who have been so honored.

I hope this is helpful.
