Yes, if they can show there is an operational need.
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

I am in the same boat, but as i have been displaced in a round about way i go up each week to the office and pick my choice of the available duties for that week, sickness, holiday cover etc etc, as for being moved, yes it could happen for operational needs, but that also applies to everyone.

Make sure you sign on at your own office at the correct start time every day and then make them get you a lift to the office they want you to work at that day.
