Uness you have been quaranteed a certain number of hours in a written employment contract or union agreement, you have no claim. The fact is that most work relationships are "at will" which means that a company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit. Accordingly, unless your reduced hours are the result of some form of legally actionable discrimination, you have no case here.
