[QUOTE="ConradJ, post: 633537, member: 66676"] Hi@tommyg2014, I've only just logged in and seen this since being off line for almost 2 months... Type 1 diabetes is classed as a disability and comes under the protection of the Equality Act 2010. You need to contact CAB (Citizens Advice Bureau) with the details because this sounds like discrimination based upon fear and ignorance. You mentioned you're a permanent temp/agency worker - I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that, but am I right in guessing you've been working through them for at least a year? CAB will be able to give you solid legal advice based upon your circumstance and I think you need to get that before taking the next step. Once you get that info, you need to contact a senior manager at the agency and discuss your situation... disability discrimination is as sad and pathetic and illegal as race and sex discrimination, so getting the legal advice will help you resolve your case. The agency and the car manufacturer have a legal obligation to make suitable adaptations or alternative arrangements to your working environment - if, as you say, there is someone else there from the agency being permitted to work day shifts whilst you are not, then that is potentially discrimination against you on the basis of your disability. You have no need to resign or do something else drastic - yet! Contact CAB and get their impartial (and free) advice, then go from there. Good luck, and keep us posted. Best wishes, Conrad [/QUOTE]
