(a) Reasonable break time, with or without compensation, for the employee to express breast milk as needed; and
(b) A place, other than a bathroom, that is reasonably free from dirt or pollution, which is protected from the view of others and free from intrusion by others where the employee may express breast milk.

If the parties are not able to reach an agreement, the employer may require the employee to accept a reasonable alternative selected by the employer.
4. An employer shall not retaliate, or direct or encourage another person to retaliate, against any employee because that employee has:
