A city cop charges the NYPD is interfering with her right to pump breast milk on the job.

The officer, who gave birth in November and is breastfeeding her daughter, says bosses have blocked her from taking requested breaks for an hour or longer or forced her to miss them altogether.

“It was very frustrating,” said the 30-year-old Manhattan officer, who asked not to be identified. “I don’t think they really understand that it’s a medical issue. It’s not like I was just asking for a break — I needed it for a legitimate reason.”

In a letter to the NYPD, the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association said that state labor law requires employers to give their workers at least 20 to 30 minutes to pump breast milk for up to three years after a child is born.

Generally I feel with many of these "cases" that if it's so difficult to do your job with your "condition", then you shouldn't be doing it.

With that said, it's still the law and if the NYPD broke it, then they'll have to deal with it.

Sounds like she should be transferred to the evidence room or some other house mouse duty until she can be in the car for the entire shift.
