Create new rights to paid breastfeeding breaks for mothers

Petition Details

The law doesn’t require employers allow employees time off for breastfeeding. We want this to change, so that mothers have a right to paid breaks for breastfeeding. Currently some employers either don't allow, or pay for, breaks for breastfeeding mothers.

Additional Information

Breastfeeding has benefits for a child's health and development, and supporting breastfeeding at work can help encourage mothers to go back to work and breastfeed for longer, and avoid health risks when returning to work for breastfeeding mothers. It could also help reduce staff absence, increase morale and loyalty, and help with staff retention.
