FREE WEBINAR SERIES: Navigating Pregnancy and Nursing for Working Mothers

Navigating Pregnancy and Nursing for Working Mothers

 

 

In honor of NATIONAL BREASTFEEDING AWARENESS MONTH, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) are hosting a series of free webinars. This series will provide workers, worker advocates, and other stakeholders with information on the federal laws that protect pregnant workers from discrimination, provide time off for the birth or adoption of a child, and ensure nursing workers can take breaks to pump breastmilk while at work. 

 

This free webinar will help workers understand protections afforded by current law and how to talk to their employers and assert their rights. The webinar will also equip advocates with information to assist new and expecting mothers seeking to assert their workplace rights.  

 

Following the inaugural event, each state will host an individual panel session to introduce local stakeholders that provide expertise, support, and resources to parents and nursing mothers. These panelists vary by state and include state WIC offices, milk banks, support groups, lactation consultants, and more.
