Advice needed

[nobodies hero]

I work 11-1900 and i have been told from wednesday 10th october i will be on 14:30-22:30 that means my shift has moved by 3 1/2 hours it really stinks.
I have done 20 years and guys who have done 3 years are still on 11-1900

I was told i have to move because there is no work for me at 11am but my collection has been given to another driver

I have two kids who i will never see as they will be in bed when i come home, and my wife also works at wolves and is on earlies so she will be on her way home when i'm on the way to work.

Basically i will see kids 30 mins in morning tops and won't see wife monday to friday.

my manager said it will make my week ends better, i nearly punched him there and then the tosser.

im not the only one at wolves in this situation but to be honest our cwu reps are useless there :(

What can i do about these new times any legal bods out there ?

:lfo :cfo The only advice I can give as I work in a DO, is, the CWU are trying to collect cases of employees who's family life has been seriously disrupted, to take to the European court of human rights. Have a word with your rep as you seem to be a prime candidate. --------------KAWAK :lfo :cfo

You should immediately put in writing that you have family committments to your manager and that you are unable to fulfil the hours assigned - he then has 28 days to respond to you. If your rep is not up to it then contact your area rep. If needs be ring HQ.

A letter to branches was issued by Bob Gibson of CWU. What you should do if your start time affects your family life is, Fill in a grievence form off your manager. If they fail to answer the grievence in 28 days you can forward the case, through the union to an employment tribunal.
