Patricia Lee filed suit against the Swan Corporation in U.S. District Court Dec. 26, alleging her employer wrongfully discriminated her in violation of Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) because her employer required her to express breast milk in a dirty toilet stall.

According to the complaint, Lee delivered her first child on Oct. 18, 2005, and when she went back to work three months later had to express milk during breaks in "cramped, dirty, exceedingly hot conditions."

I hope she succeeds.

I hope so, too. It's nice that IL has such laws, and I hope they hold up and do what they are supposed to do.
