Obama orders breastfeeding policy for federal workplace

[Tx4obama]

President Obama is asking federal personnel officials to draft "appropriate workplace accommodations" for federal employees who are nursing mothers.

The president issued a memo this week to the Office of Personnel Management asking that the new workplace accommodations be published when ready.

The changes are mandated by provisions in the health-care overhaul bill passed this year that require new breastfeeding rights, primarily for hourly workers in the private and public sectors. But Obama asked the federal government to go a step further by establishing new guidelines for all federal employees, no matter their status, according to White House aides.
