UK Is this discrimination?

OK so the story is, due to winter meaning less footfall into the place I work. Staff are urged to work 4 days instead of 5 to basically keep jobs and reduce spending in the company (local family run firm) I opted for a 4 day week and as per asked for sundays off so my days off would run Sun, Mon, Tue. Work wed to Sat. I have worked wed to Sun for 7 years. Now my manager approved my sundays off, however the stand in manager on Sunday has kicked off, pretty much spitting his dummy out that I have been granted this. But another member of staff has been granted it no problem. So now my days off have been switched to Mon, tue, wed. I can't help but feel that I am being unfairly treated, even discriminated against. I asked for sunday off to spend more…

I can't help but feel that I am being unfairly treated, even discriminated against. I asked for sunday off to spend more time with my child.

The 4 day work week is just through winter till spring when work picks up again.

What are your thoughts? I want to gain some perspective before filing an official complaint if necessary. TIA
