I don't think there is anything you can do except explain your plight to your boss and hope they can offer an alternative.

Hiya. If the present place of work has connected transport facilities (public) etc then that is the 'equivalency' you should be making in weighing up whether a move to another office is viable for you.
If it is not, ie you would need a car, whereas at the moment you don't, then effectively your present situation has been altered in a way that is financially to your detriment.
This would constitute a significant change in your pay, as more of your net income is being spent to attend work than at present.
This would not seem fair or 'equivalent' to your present situation and you should ask your employers to redress the difference in your pay accordingly, as you should not be financially disadvantaged by an employer asking you to move someplace else.
You would probably be able to claim constructive dismissal if it affected you badly financially and the employer was not prepared to financially compensate you for the move to such an extent that you are no worse off than you are now.
Put broadly, they are asking you to move, you shouldn't be worse off because of this request.

Perhaps it is a dark plan to get you to leave knowing that you have to use public transport to get to work thereby moving you to an office not served by public transport.
However, you could consider asking around the new office of who lives near to you (who drives) who can give you a lift??

No, they are not. However, some employers reimburse commuter costs. You should ask to see if they can or if a carpool is possible. Perhaps even invest in a bicycle. Your rights are limited to not being fired for your race or gender and the provisions of your employment contract. Drop the sense of entitlement and problem solve. Look at this as a perfect opportunity to get a subscription to the Wall Street Journal so that you have something educational to read on the way to work.

You have the right to drive or find a new job. Other than that, not much. There is no law stipulating that an employer has to be located on or near a public transit system.

Hi,
There is not a great deal you can do. There is an implied term in your contract of employment called a "duty of fidelty". It means you have to obey the lawful requests of your employer.
Hope this helps.

I agree with Robert. You are probably an "at will" employee..Employers suck now adays...they don't care about the people who help them get to the top.

There are lots of dependant factors, mainly whether or not your contract states you must be mobile. Have a look at http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Employment/Employees/EmploymentContractsAndConditions/DG_10028541

You can claim for reimbursement according to your level mentioned in agreement/appointment letter, if any.
