Hi
My current work involves working 12 hour shifts day and night - on a shift pattern. I have stopped working nights after speaking to my line manager - other staff have done the same when pregnant. My problem is that having done so my boss has several times put me down on the rota to work 3 12 hr days in a row. I have explained that I think this is unreasonable and that I would be too tired working 3 days in a row. whilst it was changed it has happened again - but since then ive had to go off sick due to tiredness.
Am i being unreasonable, what can I do to stop this happening. I dont want stop working the 12 hr days at the moment but may do later on in my pregnancy - i'm 11 +4.
I have checked maternity regulations but not quite sure what to do.
PS - i had to take my employer to an idustrial tribunal regarding maternity related sickness when pregnant and after m/c last year - I won the case. So wary of how they are going to react when I speak to them again regarding my working hours.
thanks for any answers
