part-time: unfavourable treatment?

Hello,

I have heard of The Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable
Treatment) Regulations 2000.

Can anyone tell me, if a company forces all part-time workers to work
Saturdays, when full-time workers are not so compelled, could this be
considered as unfavourable treatment and a breach of the above regs.?

I'm pretty sure that a couple of months ago, Thomas Cook's web site
said all part-timers must work Saturdays. A family member works for a
bank full-time Monday to Friday. She has asked if she could drop her
hours to four days per week but the area manager has told her that if
she does, she will have to work every Saturday because this bank also
has a policy of all part-timers must work Saturdays.

This does not seem sensible to me. Surely the point of part-time work
is flexibility and this is having the opposite effect?

Thanks,
Stephen.
