Think my work is going to try and get rid of me .This week alone they took my 3 hr sunday away,then today I went in to be told I'm going home at 2.30pm instead of 5.30... They blamed the weather and didnt need me,
I work on a checkout,pull my weight,just can't walk around shop floor now, just funny how no-one else has had their hours cut ...Thank god I'm in the union,I may need him very soon little rant over

    I can well believe this hun. I worked in a Care Home for 14 years and then when I started getting bad they laid some trumped up charges on me and sacked me so I took them to tribunal.

    Make sure you let your union rep know now what is happening. Don't let it get you down tho.

    I know what it feels like to "feel unsettled" at work..
    How long have you worked there..?? and do you have a contract...??

    You might have rights, speak to the A/C helpline, they were VERY helpful and put me in touch with a 'free' legal advice helpline, they can give you a brief idea of your legal rights...

    Hope this helps...x
