Description

In this episode, Erin Hart, Allison Glass and Sarah Jane Baldwin discuss rights for pregnant employees and for pumping at work. They cover:
Changes in the Minnesota's Women's Economic Security Act (WESA), which include more frequent breaks, seating arrangements, and lifting limits for pregnant employees.
A focus on creating safe, private spaces for pumping that are not bathrooms, with access to electrical outlets.
The definition of retaliation against employees who assert these rights is more robust in the new legislation.
Resources and tools for pregnant and pumping workers to know their rights.

This is the podcast of Gender Justice. We fight for Gender Equity by dismantling barriers and expanding protections so that all people can thrive regardless of their gender, gender expression, and sexual orientation. We work for: economic justice, reproductive freedom and justice, freedom from gender based violence, and for trans & LGBQ liberation at work, in public, in school, in healthcare, and more. We are facing a historic opportunity to make real change in Minnesota with the first pro-reproductive freedom state legislature. Join us - and stand up to fight for our rights.
