if you do the same job as them and they get to choose the hours and you don't then yes it is sex discrimination which is covered by european directives. so go get em boy!!!! use the grievance procedure

Discrimination is when you are treated different because of your sex, race, sexual orientation etc. Have you asked your boss why you're not allowed to work part time? If the girls are doing exactly the same job as you, working part time, and you've requested part time and been refused, then that would be discrimination. If you're unsure about anything then take a visit to Citizen's advice bureau, they're excellent at all employment disputes.

You will just have to find a job with flexible hours. If they don't let you then you need a different job. Companies are only required to give you sick and materity leave. Everything else is at their discretion.

because they pay you! it amazes me since moving to canada from england how people in the UK dont realise how good they have it in regard to working conditions, here in canada you get 2 weeks holiday a year and hmmmm no real rights, stop moaning and get on it with! its like that most other countries outside the EU.

yes you should be able to work the days that are convenient to you, Even better, why don't you cut lawns and then you can make your own hours pretty much or rake leaves or shovel snow .

It largely depends on the firm you work for......I don't think anyone can insist to work certain times if it's not convenient to the firm

Only give them availibility of when you can work..
I did that at my 1st job and they were fine with it.
problem with that is that they may only give you a few hours.
