This may present an opportunity for a reseller of modified porta-johns

I give it ten minutes until transgenders demand access.

Good luck with that.

Many, many businesses are not set up for this. My first offices for the business I owned were two offices (about 14 x 14) across the hall from each other. The bathroom was down the hall. I employed 7 people. Neither office had a private space. Would setting up a screened area be adequate?

My next space was a larger space with a single private office. I gave the private office to my writer so she could conduct phone interviews away from the noise of the larger area. I supposed I could have booted her out if it was needed for lactation.

Maybe some enterprising individual can come up with a pop-up lactating room. Just checked...they already have these. Pods anyway. https://www.mamava.com ($11,250 and up). That company also has an inflatable one that rents for $250/day. That's not anything most small companies can afford for an occasional employee.

That she told that story because she thought it was funny speaks volumes about her priorities. That poor little boy.

The office I work in has one.

They had to put a lock on the door and install a reservation system after some shall we say unauthorized uses.

No not in the mens room.

Another privateroom just for that.

Or perhaps they can combine the breast pumping room and the sperm repository rooms....

My God I can’t beliefe how stupid my country has become under libtard socialists. and that we have let them get as far as they have come.

My university where I worked until 2017 had a foot bath pool for Muslims to use. And an area at the Student Center for the Call to Prayer.

Now I’m sure they’ll rush to add this breast pumping room fad.

Will they install areas for spitting tobacco? A cultural expression.

Does the law state that this applies only to businesses with female employees?

“private rooms for women to express breast milk in the workplace ”

I just learned a new meaning of ‘express’.

What if I want to express how I feel about breast milk? Or breasts? Laz may have an opinion.
