Hello good people. My employer had a contract with a certain client and i worked for that client for about 13 years. Four of us worked there, i worked there the longest 13 years and 1 guy less than 2 years.
Then the client decided to insource the work which we were doing and reduce the number of people to 3 workers. The client did put an advert for the same role we were doing nothing changed from the description of the role.
Our employer asked the four of us to apply for the job and we did and you guessed it 3 other guys were offered the job with less money as permanent staff and i was given the zero hour contract.
Before they offered me the zero hour contract i realised that all my colleagues were offered interviews and i was the only one who was not offered one. I sent an email to the client that we were supposed to be Tuped over and the client said this was not a Tupe situation because of the change in the working hours. I have only worked nights and they still have night shifts although there are no day shifts except for weekends they have both.
Eventually my employer asked me to work for another client which they had about 30mins away.
I have taken my case to Acas against the client on these grounds
1. Unfair dismissal
2. Breach of Tupe regulation
3. Failure to consult Tupe
And against my employer
1. Failure to consult Tupe
My question is do i have a case here?
