this is naughty on their part your union should go for disability discrimination act,(DDA)the company i worked for got bought over and took out the things that had been put in place for me, i had to struggle again at work it was really awfull and ended up leaving, they just didnt listen as i could do and had done the job for years i asked for an o/t to work asses me again but they ignored my request, rich-c may be a man that knows more on this, i felt in my case if they want you out then out you go,hope union finds the answer in it( i didnt have a union )good luck,
