Unfortunately, in Pennsylvania there is no legislation or pending
legislation protecting a mother's right to pump at work.  In fact,
Pennsylvania does not even mandate enough break time for employees to make
pumping feasible if an employer wants to be difficult.

The mother should definitely focus on the benefits to the employer if the
employer makes time and provides space to express milk for her baby.  How
many other pumping co-workers does mom have and why are they sensing
trouble?
