Thats blatant unfair treatment of workers. Complain bitterly - assuming that you do have to go to the 'do'. The other either have to make it up _ before they use it- or you get to break at the same time (as would happen if everyone decide to go to the 'do')
Its harrasment and discrimination - two words employers definately don't like to hear - esp when there's a break coming up and people have time on their hands to talk to people.

I would well have a quiet word with the boss and gently explain the situation and how this is seen by those not going. If they still don't see it explain how would this situation have been covered if everyone wa going. if they still don't see it - tell them its unfair and unlawful working practices - you believe the tribunals see it as discrimination.
if all else fails - throw a tantrum and then sit inthe office till 5.30 but do no work!


drew have you not heard me say before they can do what they want
no they think they can do what they want - if challenged they may see it differently- its the classic mentality they do what they want becuase no one will challenge - if all those having to work till 5.30 stick together then there is a good case.
If you challenge the behaviour together and explain the situation they MUST sit down and listen the same as they must treat all employees equal - I searching for the offical words for you

Grievances

These are concerns, problems or complaints that you raise with your employer. For example, concerns you have about:

• your job
• your employment terms and conditions
• your contractual or statutory rights
• the way you are being treated at work

If you believe there is a real problem, explain your concern to your immediate manager to see if you can sort it out informally. You may find it helpful to suggest what you would like them to do to resolve your problem.
