I work for a company that has put our floor on rotating shift, I'll be starting the 2-10 shift tomorrow. HOWEVER even though we're working the same hours as regular shift workers (8 hours) they have told us we will lose our two 15 minute breaks, and our lunch break will be reduced from 45 minutes, to 30 minutes.
Also, because we have been off today due to Bank Holiday, Friday we have to work an extra 30 minutes to make up for it.
Now I know this is legal, but regular shift workers work 8 hour shifts and get 2 breaks and a 45 minute lunch break. They've told us we will only have one 30 minute break so we can finish earlier on a Friday and only have to work 5 hours on a Friday, but the regular shift workers only work 6 hours on a Friday anyway, and are entitled to all their breaks.
When you're carrying 60kg fabrics and lifting them onto a machine all day, no way is one 30 minute break enough. I'm in two minds wether to even bother going back now.
