Trade Unionist

Did you know?

Global and national trade unionists are important allies who can support breastfeeding for workers by promoting parental social protection.

WABA calls on Trade Unionists to:

  • Uphold the highest standards of legal protection for breastfeeding workers and parents
  • Better understand how to support breastfeeding in the context of work
  • Support employees to remove barriers to continued breastfeeding upon return to work
  • Inform workers of their maternity or parental social protection rights especially in informal sectors
  • Work together with employers and advocates to promote best practice in all areas related to infant feeding at the workplace
