    Is she getting the work she is employed to do done? Is she turning up late to work? Is she causing the business a huge inconvenience? What exactly is she saying about mother's rights (as we don't really have any) and to whom? Honestly.

    The law in the UK is that you do not have the right to go back to work part-time. It must be considered, but it can be deemed unfeasible, and she can be let go if her position working one day a week is no longer suitable, the work isn't getting done and she refuses to up her hours. Sounds like the business needs someone who will do more hours and your friend is making it hard for them - they probably don't want to get rid of her, but they may have to if they need her to do more hours and she won't.

    I guess she has just got to the end of the line with them. They want someone fulltime and she won't. And you are right we have no rights and it looks like it is going to get worse
