Ironically, I work in the social inclusion department of a large organisation. I'm on maternity leave and feel like I've been excluded from the Christmas lunch party this year as I'm not allowed to take my two month old baby due to 'health and safety' issues. The event is at a pub which allows babies and children, the decision not to allow them came from my work's management...not from the pub. I cannot leave babe, as I'm breastfeeding and my partner has to work.
There are only four other women who are on maternity leave, who also cannot make the event.
My line manager and colleagues are all in support of me and cannot understand management's problem.
Just how discriminatory is this? how far can I push my query into why I can't bring the baby? It's just lunch in a pub with good friends and colleagues.
