WASHINGTON (TVR) – Two female flight attendants have joined four pilots in filing federal discrimination complaints against their employer, Frontier Airlines, alleging the carrier did not provide accommodations for breastfeeding and other pregnancy-related consideration.

The American Civil Liberties Union and a New York City-based law firm are representing the plaintiffs.

The crew members filed the discrimination charges with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission this week.

Flight Attendants: Breastfeeding Not Allowed

Flight attendants Jo Roby, a 13-year Frontier veteran, and Stacy Rewitzer, an employee of the carrier for 11 years, accuse the airline of refusing to grant them maternity leave and forcing them to take unpaid leave after delivering their babies.

When they asked for accommodations to allow them to pump breast milk between flights, “they were told that no accommodations were possible and were forbidden from pumping while on duty – although they typically work shifts over 10 hours long with back-to-back flights,” the ACLU said in a release.

Rewitzer says she faced disciplinary action “and risk of termination.”

Frontier Denies Allegations

Frontier Airlines told the Dallas News that its policies comply with the contract for the flight attendants’ union as well as state and federal laws.

“We have made good-faith efforts to identity and provide rooms and other secure locations for use by breast-feeding flight attendants during their duty travel,” the paper quoted the airline as saying.

Frontier said it did give the flight attendants places within the airports where they could pump, but the crew members countered the locations weren’t close enough to the gate.

Four Pilots Also Complained

The new complaints come after four Frontier pilots—Shannon Kiedrowski, Brandy Beck, Erin Zielinski, and Randi Freyer—filed charges in May of last year.

All six crew members want the EEOC to force Frontier to “make it easier” for pregnant and breastfeeding pilots and flight attendants.

The changes they’re seeking include: “providing clean and convenient accommodations for pumping while on duty, including on board during flight when necessary, during training, and at airports; allowing temporary alternative ground assignments; providing relief from the current strict attendance policy that penalizes flight attendants who miss work due to pregnancy; and offering meaningful parental leave for new parents.”
