USDOL Webinar on Federal Maternal Health Laws

Description

Upcoming free webinars and events hosted by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) are celebrating Breastfeeding Awareness Month in August 2024, presenting a series of webinars on workplace protections for new and expecting mothers and resources in each state. You are invited to attend the first event in this series. 

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.
