Breastfeeding Rooms Hidden in HealthCare Law

If you have a company with 50 employees or more, it is time for you to build or convert a room into a Breastfeeding location. You can thank the healthcare law for the new requirement.

"Nursing mothers will now get additional support, thanks to page 1239 of the health care bill that President Obama recently signed into law. It requires employers to provide "a place, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from co-workers and the public, which may be used by an employee to express breast milk." Only companies with less than 50 employees can claim it's an undue hardship."
