I work in a 365 days a year industry. My colleagues and I, have to provide cover over Christmas.
As I worked over Christmas and New Year last year, I booked and was promised this year off. I have this in writing.
Two colleagues have announced that they can't get childcare, and now management have come back to me and said I have to work. (Single, no kids was planning to have fun with friends and family. Shouldn't have mentioned it in my break at work.)
I have now received a written directive that my leave is cancelled, with the threat of disciplinary if I don't turn up.
No unions here, but what are my chances of claiming constructive dismissal if I don't go to work?
We are a team of twelve and those with families, who are rostered to work have a month to sort themselves out, as does everyone else. Why should it be me that has to come in the whole time, along with our unfortunate manager who has no choice because she is in charge?
