Summary

The Lactation at Work Law provided leverage for management to create change through institutional politics within organizations, even moving their organization’s lactation accommodations beyond basic compliance with the law. The law provided a tool for change and conferred legitimacy on workplace lactation and its accommodations. These human resource personnel and supervising managers were eager to comply with the Lactation at Work Law, often going beyond what the law mandated. Due to their social proximity to breastfeeding – either through their own experiences or those of close family or friends – these Allies Already understood the difficulties of workplace milk expression, supported the goal of breastfeeding, and advocated workplace lactation accommodations even before the law was passed.
