Petition to UK Parliament seeks paid breastfeeding and expressing breaks and facilities
Machine summary A UK Parliament petition seeks a statutory right to paid breastfeeding and expressing breaks plus suitable workplace facilities.
- Rachael Bews, a mother of three and founder of Nu Coton marketing agency, lodged a UK Parliament petition for a statutory right to paid breastfeeding and expressing breaks plus suitable workplace facilities.
- The campaign argues the current system forces many mothers to choose between feeding their baby and earning a living.
- Bews, who is from Edinburgh, says the campaign focuses on taking away a practical obstacle to health, equality, and workforce participation, not on seeking special treatment.
