MITIE

Has any other guard who TUPE'd over to MITIE from ASDA noticed they have breached the contract they signed?

​

So far now theres been a few indications that MITIE have breached the contract at my store with me & other colleagues

​

What can we do about it?

I was getting my hours fine and there was no need to cut back for any reason nor was i contacted by them over it but they essentially took 2 days off of what i was doing weekly without notice , it was only when i tried to clock in for a shift i realise they took it off me completely dropping my contracted 30hours/week to 18 ish

Tried to contact them but radio silence

Contact your manager they can't cut your hours without permission or discussion.

If you read the fine print of your MITIE contracts, they absolutely can.

We don't have Mitie contracts we have Asda contracts tuped over to Mitie. They have the same term and conditions as before.

No they don't, they're 2 separate companies and have 2 separate T&C's. TUPE doesn't work the way you think it does.

Literally you have to consult on term and condition changes or you will fail in court. And Tupe does work like that it stops employers behaving exactly like this and misusing contract changes to cut hours and the such. Legally it's illegal to cut hours without permission in uk, unless your employer has a valid reason like liquidation. And no it's also illegal to tupe then cut hours as term and condition remains the same. The ETO reason that's being used has to be you need to prove that you have a surplus of Security, which I doubt 2 staff on shift would legally be seen as surplus. I also doubt you could prove massive drop in probability when the contract literally makes the you more profitable.
