Memphis - Angela Smith adores her one year old son Dylan. But in May 2004,
after returning to her nursing job at Baptist Hospital Collierville after
having Dylan, she was in for a shock.

She inquired about using her fifteen minute work breaks to go into a
designated area and use a breast pump to provide his milk. "They told me
there would be no problem. They had people that have pumped before. They
allowed me to use a pump from the hospital and allowed me to pump in Labor
and Delivery in a private room." says Smith.

From May to January, she says everything was fine. Angela Smith says she was
never told she had done anything wrong or that there was a problem with her
using her break to take care of her motherly duties. But last January her
supervisors called her in and told her she would be suspended.
