[quote=Anonymous]OP, I would have more sympathy for you if you hadn't 1.) started out by breaking the law (or at least the rules) and refusing to get up off the floor when you were told to and 2.) been belligerant in this exchange. I do think that they were in the wrong to tell you not to breastfeed. You are legally correct on that point. But, they were in the right in telling you not to breatfeed on the floor in a busy corridor and not to breastfeed without covering up (if that is what you were doing. It sounds that way from your description.) I work in a field where there is a lot of interface with the public. I can tell you that when an exchange with a person starts off with them violating the rules ,and then that person refusing to stop violating the rules when asked, I am not really in the mood to listen to their problem and help them find a solution we can agree upon. I think you should let this go since the facts in this case are not really in your favor. In the future, you might speak to the hearing officer, tell him that you have to breastfeed your son, and ask that if your number comes up while you have stepped away, could you please be bumped until you return in a few moments. Then, go find a quiet, out of the way place to breastfeed. OR, get a cover up and try to breastfeed in the noisy waiting room first and only escalate to leaving your place in line if there is a problem. You are an adult and, like all the other adults in that room who have committed minor traffic violations, you can engage in some basic problem-solving. [/quote]
