My direct line manager has just returned from holiday. Whilst he was away I has a few health issues and had to take some time off work. On my return to work, I find out that not only have my days off changed, but I'm now expected to work 10+ hour shifts. (I'm contracted as a breakfast chef, 30hrs per week, normally work 6.30am-12.30pm) He knows I'm 8+5 weeks pregnant, but is using the "pregnancy isn't a disease" and "it was your choice to get pregnant" to try and make me do these shifts. I've tried explaining to him that I've never worked that long in the 18 months in the job. And also by 1pm my MS hits and I'm sleeping 12 hours per day. I've had my risk assessment, but it was done by someone who has never worked in a kitchen!!! Am I right in thinking they cannot change my shifts like this now I'm pregnant??
If anyone could point me in the right place so I have the correct info before I take this further.
