A nursing mother is calling out her male-dominated company after numerous remarks about her breastfeeding at work.

A woman is claiming that her male-dominated company allegedly made numerous remarks about her breastfeeding at work, including not properly accommodating her legal rights.that Brianna Terry, a lead masker at a metal finisher called Spraytek in Madison Heights, Michigan, returned to work six weeks after giving birth. But when she needed a place to pump, she allegedly was not met with open arms by supervisors and co-workers.

Terry alleged that one of her supervisors told her she had nowhere to pump in the building, at one point telling her she could occupy the bathroom. "He said, 'You could just do it in the bathroom,'" Terry said."I am like, when you are breastfeeding your child, that is their food, this is her steak dinner. Would you eat your steak dinner in the bathroom?"

Terry said her supervisor ultimately let her pump in the quality room, which acted as both a workspace to check parts and a breastfeeding space.
