Yes they can,they(last letter times) have already been changed in principle,when your new duties (WSM)are sorted out,chances are just like the rest of us we will have later starts/finishes.
You have the option to keep the amount of hrs you work,not the times.

I would agree with Postman because as far as I can remember your contract and mine, does not mention what time you start and finish - it only mentions how many hours you work per week.

I know its only a small point but its a significant one when it comes to employment law.

No, if you are full-time your existing contractual hours are 40...if you are part-time 20 or 25 or whatever your contract states.
Attendance times are not protected for either full-time or part-time although if your attendance times are changed to such an extent that other commitments would mean that you would no longer be able to continue your employment you MAY have a tenuous case for constructive dismissal.
Other commitment usually but not always mean Childcare issues.
The fact that the union negotiated these changes would most likely go against you at an Employment Tribunal.
