That is crazy, why should the baby be made to wait?... there needs to be a backpack-type apparatus, a sling that holds the baby to her boob while she is chasing illegal immigrants on the border.

lol

If you’re nursing, you can’t go a full 10 hours or whatever that you’re away from home without expressing the milk.
You have to pump it several times during that period and refrigerate for later.
(One of my daughters is breastfeeding currently)

I’m laughing, but also....the baby is stuck off somewhere with a caretaker while the mom is working. Baby doesn’t have to wait.

You’re funny.

Cruz’s doctor also told the agency, repeatedly, that she should work light duty, avoid altercations and night shifts.

IOW, get special treatment but still get paid the same as the men who are putting themselves out there.

Here’s an idea: Stay home and be a mother. Your children need you.

The Border Patrol fired her in April for failing and refusing to take a test to keep her firearms certification current.

How active was she in assuring her 'standards' in this regard. Refusing? Maybe more telling than it seems.

>> she simply wanted to pump and store her breast milk at work.

This is not complicated and shouldn’t be a problem. I suspect other factors are driving her employment problems.

An apparatus to allow breast feeding while on the run would give new meaning to the term “boob belt”

now now...

wait just a minute...

company WRITTEN policy was to provide a place, and facilities, to extract and store tittie milk..

this particular office and it’s charge, refused to follow company policy, and then harassed the individual that wanted nothing more than the leadership to adhere to WRITTEN policy...

sounds like a slam dunk for the lactating mom, and it damn well should be..

if your company does not want to enforce a policy, then do not offer said policy..

simple, and really not very complicated..

Agent Cruz, there’s a reason that, simultaneously, the funniest and most frightening words in the English language are: “Hi, I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.”

Saying you want reasonable break time and facilities to pump breast milk is one thing. Saying you want/need extended if not semi-permanent desk duty is another thing entirely.

thanks for your post, I would use a stronger word than twit thought. She is down right stupid, should stay home and nurse her baby. The world does not owe her special priviledges. She just may be looking for some deep pockets to tap in a law suit..some women disgust me and I am a female. stupid women give us all a bad name..

She also makes it harder for women to find work. What boss wants that future possibility? Better hire the guy!
