I feel pushed out of my job: Ask the expert

I was employed in 2006 and given a 4-day week contract. Early in 07 I reduced my hours. I went on maternity leave and was advised to start back on two days a week, but found I was doing a new role. After seven months I asked to go back to my old role and was refused and told my only alternative was to resign. Can I appeal?

My job was made redundant while I was on maternity leave: Ask the expert

On maternity leave, I was asked what hours I wanted, but my ideas were rejected. My job was cut to 25 hours per week and those hours absorbed by other staff. I was offered another full-time post, but with no flexiblity, unlike my previous post - it starts at 7.30am [when nursery opens - I have a 45 minute commute]. What can I do?
