The general union Unite won a legal victory on breastfeeding against airline easyJet. An employment tribunal ruled that the airline’s failure to allow two new mothers working as cabin crew to limit their duty days to eight hours to allow them to express milk or offer them ground duties while they continued to breastfeed, was discriminatory. It should have found them alternative duties or suspended them on full pay (McFarlane & Ambacher v easyJet Airline Co Ltd, September 2016). Employment tribunal rulings are not legally binding.
