The Q is posed about a New York state school social worker being told she
can't use the school building to nurse her 3-month-old on breaks ... while
the car in the parking lot is OK.
The responses here on Lactnet have been great.
What this mom needs is a lawyer, or a union rep. if she is unionized, to go
to bat for her with her school administrators. This is about her conditions
of employment -- it is not about BF. If this is "subtle discrimination"
against the mother (because she is BF) -- then it is still an employment law
matter. If there has been a change in school policy (no kids in the
building for a rational reason we don't know about) then she still needs a
"professional ally" to help convince her supervisors that the rule can be
safely bent in this case.
