Do I have a case to call the labor board?

I work as a cleaner in a hospital. I made a previous post about the state of my workplace right now. Basically people are being treated like crap. This write up was completely ridiculous. I was taking a break in the area that I was cleaning. During my training when I started, we always took a break in the waiting area of our floor that we would clean. I've been doing it for the entire year I've been working here. The director comes up to said area and tells me and another person I was on break with “ladies, this isn't a break room.” I looked at him and asked “okay, where do you want me to go?” He got visibily irritated and said “nevermind, just finish your break.” So I said okay.

This write up was completely ridiculous. I was taking a break in the area that I was cleaning. During my training when I started, we always took a break in the waiting area of our floor that we would clean. I've been doing it for the entire year I've been working here.

We had a situation that happened after my break which takes precedence over cleaning rooms. Obviously was running a little behind. They waited until half an hour before I clock out to inform me that the floor I was covering has another area to do. I didn't know, since that isn't my assigned floor and no one bothered to tell me.

A patient experience lady simply noticed I was stressing because of an incident I witnessed where someone got fired for replacing toilet paper with clean gloves on, and finding out a family member was being admitted in the hospital. So she started helping me and I thanked her. I never asked her to help me, she just saw I was struggling and decided to help.

I have disabilities that make me slower than everyone else. This was disclosed during the hiring process and is on my record, including my medical file. I've also recently applied for FMLA as well. Do I have a genuine case here?
