CONNECT 15 TWEETCOMMENTEMAILMORECONCORD, N.C. -- A Concord mother is speaking out after she says her shifts were cut at work because she needed to pump to breast milk for her twin babies.
The owners of Union Street Bistro in Concord say they would never discriminate against nursing mothers,http://www.vincinibottier.com/wp-blog.php?nike/style_nfl-game-jersey/20578242, and there are two sides to every story.
"I should be encouraged to feed my children this way," said nursing mom,http://www.rockpocketgames.com/wp-image.php?Maillot-France-Enfant-Domicile-2015-officiel.html, Brennan Atwell.
Atwell feels passionate about breastfeeding her 10-month-old twins and she was excited to go back to work at Union Street Bistro,http://catamarcainfo.com/wp-walker.php?, breast pump in tow.
"I loved it here,https://www.gourmaleo.com/wp-atom.php?teamsport/adidas-tiro-15-allwetterjacke-blau-rot.html," said Atwell.
But quickly, she says she wasn't on the schedule for three weeks in a row. She asked her boss if it was due to inconvenience of her pumping.
"And that's when she said to me, 'It's not so much a matter of inconvenience and it is indecency. We have too many male employees here for you to be pumping at work,'" said Atwell.

Atwell says she had difficulty getting a suitable place.
"I was first offered a bathroom in a moldy basement. I refused that"
So she says she was allowed to use an office that had no door.
"Because of the lack of privacy,http://rentasgastronomicas.com/wp-blog.php?Autographed_Jerseys, several male coworkers were able to look in on what I was doing,http://www.rockpocketgames.com/wp-title.php?product/139037," said Atwell.
Under federal law, businesses must provide a reasonable break time and a place, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public.
The owners of Union Street Bistro say they would never discriminate against any nursing mom, saying their business is 100 years old and the only private room was in the basement.
"Ms. Atwell also advised us that she would need to pump breast milk during her normal shift,http://www.urbanoasis.com.au/fantversion.php?c/souvenirs, which was four to five hours long. During these times, she would often be gone off the floor for 30-35 minutes. We are a small restaurant and that placed a heavy burden on the management and staff. However, we accommodated her request," said restaurant owners in a statement.
But Atwell says that's not true.
"I always waited until the end of my shift until, all my tables were gone and the restaurant was closing up to go pump."
According to Union Street Bistro and Atwell she has not officially been terminated but she says she has not been on the schedule for weeks and has asked to take over shifts.
Read Union Street Bistro's full statement below:
Ms. Atwell was an employee prior to and during her pregnancy. After the birth of her children, she informed us of her decision to be a stay at home mom for her twins. We fully supported her decision, but were ready to put her back to work. After a few months,http://www.katalogportali.com/tag.php?Pistorasia-Uruguay-CAVANI-Pelipaita-MM-2014-Koti, she indicated that she wanted to return to work. We were happy to rehire her because she had been a good server. However,http://www.minuteetseconde.com/wp-feed.php?491-maillots, due to our staffing, and her limited availability, we were only able to offer her a couple of shifts per week.
Shortly after being rehired, Ms. Atwell advised us that she would need time during her shift to pump breast milk and a private room with a locking door to pump. We were happy to attempt to accommodate her. Unfortunately, our restaurant is in a building that is over 100 years old and only offered one room that was private with a locking door. Ms. Atwell declined that room because it was in the basement. She indicated she prefer the manager's office even though it had no locking door.
Ms. Atwell also advised us that she would need to pump breast milk during her normal shift which was 4-5 hours long. During these times, she would often be gone off the floor for 30-35 minutes. We are a small restaurant and that placed a heavy burden on the management and staff. However,http://www.welshdiving.co.uk/wp-xml.php?auction, we accommodated her request.
For business reasons, we were not able to provide her with a shift last week. She requested to fill in for another server on Saturday May 16th. Although we accommodated all her other requests,http://www.headstartfs.com.au/single.php?football-news/2011/10/yaya-toure-interview/, we could not accommodate that request due to the restaurant being especially busy for local proms.
Despite statements to the contrary, Ms. Atwell was not taken off the schedule and was not terminated.
Our restaurant is local and family owned. We have 4 children in our family and respect breastfeeding mothers. We also have mothers who breast feed while dining with us. We would never discriminate against Ms. Atwell or any other employee or customer for any reason whatsoever. We welcome nursing mothers as employees, as we did Ms. Atwell, or customers and respect their right to breastfeed or pump breast milk.
