The Ohio Supreme Court ruled that the state law banning discrimination against pregnant women does not protect new mothers who take unauthorized breaks to use a breast pump. The article in the Columbus Dispatch can be found at this link: http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2009/08/28/LACTATE.ART_ART_08-28-09_B1_8EET5UK.html
The ruling went against the mother not because of the discrimination aspect of the suit. In fact the Supreme Court carefully went out of its way to avoid this question. Instead, the Supreme Court made the ruling because the young mother was using the breast pump during unauthorized break times.
I would like to hear your comments on this! Please read the article, and any others you find, and then comment!
