I work in a department in which you have to work one Saturday in four (in contract). A new colleague joined the department and has said they are not working Saturdays due to childcare-which has apparently been accepted by management.
The majority of our team have children and childcare is a big issue for the Saturday working. We have never been offered the non working Saturdays and many of us have had to use paid leave to take the Saturdays off to facilitate childcare etc.
AIBU to think this is unfair to the rest of the department? Can this be escalated further?
