Free tampons for all workers under new Dem bill

Rep. Grace Meng, D-N.Y., introduced legislation this week that would require all U.S. employers to provide free tampons, pads and other “menstrual products” to their employees at their bathrooms at work.

The Menstrual Products for Employees Act would amend the Occupational Safety and Health Act to issue a rule putting that requirement in place. The bill says employers would have to “provide menstrual hygiene products free of charge for employees in the bathrooms of the employer.”
