EasyJet cabin crew win landmark case on breastfeeding

Employers may have to improve arrangements for female staff who are breast feeding after a “groundbreaking” tribunal ruling.

The tribunal found that EasyJet discriminated against two female cabin crew members by failing to limit their days to eight hours to allow them to express milk or to offer them ground duties while they continued to breast feed their babies. The case could have wider implications for many working mothers.
