For reasons I cant go into Im going anonymous.
I will try and give as much detail as I can.
I work for a large private company.
My role and the role of approx. 50 others is being changed.
The title is changing and some of the job description.
The new role will involve additional duties that due to the physicality
of these duties I wont be able to apply for.
Believe me they are extremely physical duties that I think a woman would really struggle with.
These duties have always been done by men, never women.
If I dont go for the role I will be just moved/shunted to role that I did 20 years ago in the company.
Job wise it would be a big come down.
Are the company discriminating against women? The ratio is currently 60:40 women to men doing
the current job.
Our union( useless) have said we should just apply for the jobs.
What do you think? Am I overreacting?
