I stopped pumping at work 2 months ago. And my boss just said he saw an article in the chronicle about it. He said because we are a small office they do not have to abide by the laws and provide me with a place to pump. When I was pumping here at work I had to use the HR guys office since we dont have a breakroom or even a bathroom where I could do this. Im just annoyed. I stopped pumping at work because it was a hassle I had to kick the HR guy out every day and he would roll his eyes and throw his hands in the air each time that I borrowed his office. I hate co-workers.
What am I supposed to do if they do not have to provide me a place to pump? pump in my car?! Next time around Im going to put my foot down.
Re: Pumping at work . Im annoyed.
What kind of jackass boss would tell you this when you aren't even pumping at work?
I'd look into those laws if I were you.

What an effing assshole. Whether he "has to" or not - it's good practice to do so - happy, cared about employees are GOOD employees. And to bring that up now, after you're not even pumping anymore - they can all go suck eggs (your boss AND your HR guy. Two douchebags.)
