    Default Position Eliminated, Now a Different Department is Doing My Old Job for Less Pay

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: MO

    My wife works for a well known company; and for all tense and purposes I shall not name said company. In this company she works for a department that is the highest paid department. In her employment there was an opportunity to work in a 3rd shift position in this department. After some time she was told, "The position for this department is being eliminated, and you have 2 options: 1) Stay on 3rd shift but in a different department and lose .50 cents an hour. or 2) Go back to the same department during the day time with not so great hours that conflicts with family life and lose 1.00 an hour.

    Looking at her options she opts to stay on overnights and not lose as much pay. She accepts the fact that the "position" has ended and ready to move on in her new department.

    The problem is that management keeps pulling her back over to this other department to continue to have her do the SAME job she was doing for NOW less pay.

    We are furious and looking at legal recourse. In anyone's opinion, do we have such recourse?

    And if I've not given enough information about the situation please ask. My wife called me tonight and was in tears looking at her paycheck on line and seeing that for the last 2 weeks, they have changed her pay to the "new" rate and yet for the last 2 weeks still doing the same job for the majority of the time.
