he changes them, even if I have made plans, and says I HAVE to work them.

What does it say on your contract of employment.

Am I to assume that you don't get on with this boss ?
Legally, if your contract says you have to work a rota system, that is what you have to do, but it is in everyone's interests that the system is workable and acceptable to all.
It is not unreasonable to expect a bit of notice of rota changes - a week or so say - so that you can fit your plans around them. You work to live, not the other way around, after all. Is this problem affecting just you, or are there others involved ? It might be worth discussing this with co-workers to see what they think.
If you can't see eye to eye with your boss over this, maybe it is time to move on.

I don't know about legally but if your rotor is like mine once weekley as soon as you get your first copy of the next weeks rotor your boss needs to expect that youv'e made your plans around that and should he change it without asking with you if its ok, don't turn up. Tell him exactly that that you or noone expects to have to make your own personal plans around him and his buisness. Near where i live theres a goverment center that gives out free legal adivice email me and later I'll find out more. God your boss pisses me off. I think the rotor is a form of contract.

First thing you need to do is read your contract. What does it say about your shifts? If you have set shifts you have the right to stand your ground but other than that...PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN!! They need you more than you need them...obviously don't be rude and stuff but be firm and stand your ground. Whats the point of working all the hours that God sends if you don't get to enjoy the fruit of your work?!

Is this in your contract?
Have you had it out with him that this is unnaceptable?
Have you complained to anyone else?
Beware of what is unwritten in contracts and handbooks, but is generally accepted as the done thing - this is called 'Custom & practice. It's a double-edged sword.
Does he treat everyone like this?
Complain, complain , complain my friend (KEEP NOTES) and make it clear that you feel that his actions are unreasonable... but be prepared to leave and sue the swine for constructive dismissal.

Your boss should really tell you that you are working such and such days, but if you had already made plans ash your boss if you could swap them with somebody else.
