PENDLETON, Ore. (AP) — An Eastern Oregon woman is fighting to clear her name after she was fired a second time from a job at a state prison, this time she says over a complaint about breastfeeding her infant son.
The East Oregonian reports that 29-year-old Patty Horn worked at the Two Rivers Correctional Institution in Umatilla as a corrections officer.
But she claims she was fired after complaining about unsanitary conditions while trying to breastfeed.
Horn worked previously at the Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution in Pendleton, where she was fired after complaining about sexual harassment. But she won a settlement in that case.
