Different shift patterns within company same rate of pay

getmore4less

IT is actually worse than not getting paid a premium for some of the hours worked, employer can pay less and even zero(many do) for hours as long as the average pay for the hours that are worked is over min wage.

Your employer doesn't have to 'recognise' a union for it to be worth joining. A large employer, faced by a number of staff raising a grievance and backed by a union, would probably listen. 

Plus, if you were ever facing a disciplinary situation, the employer would have no choice but to allow you to be accompanied by a union rep. 

And doesn't an employer have to recognise a TU if a certain proportion/number of employees are members and request it?

Quite possibly. 

Just checked Employers: recognise a trade union - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) 
"If you do not want to recognise the union and have more than 21 employees, they can apply for statutory recognition from the Central Arbitration Committee (CAC)."

If it is unfair in your opinion, update cv and put your boots on, though in the current climate, I would sweat this out?
