Description
Please join the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in celebrating Breastfeeding Awareness Month in Alabama!
While our agencies enforce important laws that ensure that you are supported in the workforce, we know that parenthood can be overwhelming. There are multiple resources available locally that can help you succeed and thrive- organizations that can provide support for lactation, pregnancy, parenthood, and more! This session will introduce you to a few of the people that can be a part of your village.
More about the webinar series:
The Navigating Pregnancy and Nursing as a Working Mother in the Southeast webinar series is an opportunity for you to learn about the laws but also equip you with local resources that can help support you!
On August 1st, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission will provide workers, worker advocates, and other stakeholders with information on the federal laws that protect pregnant workers from discrimination, provide time off for the birth or adoption of a child, and ensure nursing workers can take breaks to pump breastmilk while at work.
This free webinar will help workers understand protections afforded by current law and how to talk to their employers and assert their rights. The webinar will also equip advocates with information to assist new and expecting mothers seeking to assert their workplace rights.
Following the inaugural event, each state will host an individual panel session to introduce local stakeholders that provide expertise, support, and resources to parents and nursing mothers. These panelists vary by state and include state WIC offices, milk banks, support groups, lactation consultants, and more.
