Add Comment Question: My son is a lifeguard for the city and was scheduled to work 27 hours a week during the summer. His hours were just cut back to 15hours a week, and 3 hours shifts a day. He was counting in this job for university, and now he has little options to get another job. He is a union employee. Does he have any recourse? Answer: Unfortunately the only recourse he would have is through the union. He should speak with his union representative as soon as possible.
