I would recommend starting  here:

The USBC has links to all the latest breastfeeding laws - including  the  
recent DOL information which would absolutely include postal  employees.

Subject:  Breastfeeding  federal law???

I have a client (who has given me  permission to write to  Lactnet) who is 
starting to work soon.  We  live in Puerto Rico, where  we do have a 
breastfeeding 
law, in  which mothers are given one hour a day  (which they can divide as 
they  
wish to) to either breastfeed or extract  their breastmilk.  The  problem 
for 
which Im writting is that this law  does not apply to  federal employees.  
She is 
a federal employee who  works for  the post office.

I wonder, since a lot of you live in  continental  USA, if there is either 
a 
federal or post office law or  politic  related to breastfeeding.

I would appreciate any information  you  can give me.  If you can please 
copy to 
my personal email   [log in to unmask] (that way I can read it faster).

Thanks in   advance!!!
