Google skills are about all you need to look up state law, but I am going to suggest you visit the U. S. Breastfeeding Cmte's website, which is awesome, to find out: (1) the *federal* law regarding pump breaks, http://www.usbreastfeeding.org/workplace-law, and (2) state-by-state laws impacting lactating empoyees. http://www.usbreastfeeding.org/p/cm/ld/fid=232. This will get you started. We all know that a right without a remedy is no right at all, and the enforcement mechanisms for the pump break law are weak. And we know *many* workers are full-on, well-aware of their "rights," yet feel disempowered to seek them, because they are hourly-wage workers who don't want to go toe-to-toe with the boss, or they are truly not covered by the law, or the boss has *told* them they aren't covered by the laww when they probably are. (3) For the employers who are whining about this, a visit to this great site will offer TONS of helpful suggestions about how to set up a private space for lactating employees: http://www.womenshealth.gov/breastfeeding/employer-solutions/ -- Liz Brooks, JD, IBCLC, FILCA Wyndmoor, PA, USA Chair, ILCA Nominations Cmte (2014-16) Secretary, U.
