From The Detroit Free Press, the consequences of an ironically dumb decision: SMART bus driver, dispatcher suspended for denying ride to breast-feeding mom
The SMART bus driver who told a Taylor mom she couldn’t breastfeed on a bus in late June was suspended for five days without pay, and her dispatcher was suspended for three, company officials said today.You know, those two bumps do have a real purpose other than looking good.
The two employees were punished for not following company policy and for using profanity after Afrykayn Moon, 32, said the driver tried to keep her from boarding the bus while her then two-week-old son was nursing.
She said the driver refused to drive the bus until the child was done breastfeeding, and had security guards try to remove her.
