Workplace Accommodations for Nursing Airline Crewmembers.
This law grants nursing mothers who work as airline crewmembers the right to reasonable break times to express breast milk and access to a private, non-bathroom space for this purpose. These protections apply for one year after the child's birth, provided they do not compromise flight safety or require significant expense from the airline. Employees are protected against retaliation for exercising these rights.
