Take care

Hi,
I am in Oz and most companies once they hear Union.. Back off. You hopefully have access to union solicitors as part of your entitlements. Personally I would start off by explaining to your employer that you work reduced hoursdue to your medical condition and you cannot do more. Gage their response. If it's negative, document it get a doctors certificate and consider stress leave/union consult.

I was in a Union for 15 years here in Oz and this was the usual route for members.

Hi Aussie99,
thanks for replying, one of the most annoying things is I'm not on reduced hours I just work my hours more evenly eg (8 hrs working, 8 hrs rest period, then 8 hrs working) rather than (14hrs working, 8 hrs rest period, 2 hrs working or more) so still works out the same 24+hours away from home. Having worked these hours for the past thirteen years should work in my favour too.
take care
