Last month, the United States Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division issued a request for public comments on its preliminary interpretations of a new provision of the Fair Labor Standards Act that requires employers to provide nursing mothers with reasonable break time and a private space for expressing breast milk while at work.
For more information about this new requirement for employers, check out some previous posts I did on the subject here and here.
The DOL will accept public comments until Feb. 22, 2011 — via http://www.regulations.gov.
