It seems to me that the mother could make a case for the breaks to be
included in the Family medical leave act and or the ADA.
As I understand the Family Medical Leave act it is availabel for those
individuals that work in companies of more than 50 employers and that it is
not neccessaary for the people to take a whole day at a time to qualify for
the leave provisions of the act.
Certainly an engored mother could have a claim that the engorgement requires
periodic episodes of attention to provide relief. What about the person who
has a nerogenic bladder and must take breaks to do a self/cath of the
bladder. I think that the ADA would apply to that situation so it should
apply to a BF/pumping mother.
