Dear LACTNETIs there any legal precedent in the US requiring an airline to allow an employee to express milk during long flights?There is a case in the UK currently arguing that "airlines are exempt"
They are also looking for "medical" opinion that a mother could go 8 hours without expressing but that going longer would put her at risk of mastitis -- it seems to me to be impossible to provide evidence of exactly how many hours are likely to provoke mastitis?
Thanks for any help.
