Breastfeeding Mom’s firing ruled sexist

Good for Marina Chavez, mother of four, who is being awarded over $40,000 in lost wages and emotional distress for being fired for breastfeeding while on her meal break at work. A 2002 California law requires employers to provide a reasonable break (and suitable location) for an employee to breastfeed an infant. California also allows a mother to breastfeed her child “ in any location, public or private.”
