Many contracts have an escape clause that covers the condition that sufficient work is not available. These cases are difficult to win because the courts tend to favor the employer. They can plead extenuating circumstances such as a bad economy and be relieved of their obligation.

Can Home Depot reduce hours of full time employees?
Employees work the hours set by the employer. No law or union contract contradicts that. The small fraction of private sector workers with contracts follow the contract provisions about the employer setting schedules.
Can your employer change your hours from 38 to 18 hrs a week?
Yes, unless you have an employment contract prohibiting it.
In Pennsylvania what is the limit of overtime hours your employer can MAKE you work Is there a limit to overtime hours or forced overtime hours?
No limit on hours, just overtime on hours over 40 in one work week. If you do not have a contract with your employer limiting the hours, you can be forced to work the hours. This is one of the benefits of belonging to a union, your work hours have been negotiated with your employer, so they can not force you to work extra long hours.
Can the employer cut working hours to 7 hrs a day and add them to Saturday and Sunday?
It depends on your contract of employment.
If union employees are sent home because of power failure caused by ice should they be paid 4 hours?
Only if the current contract requires exactly that. Otherwise, the employer does as it wishes. The union restricts employer action ONLY by getting agreement on contract provisions. If the union can't get X written into the contract, the employer need not do X.
Can you sue employer for giving your hours to somebody who has been out on sick leave if you have been there longer than them?
It depends on the terms of your contract
If you have a contract with set hours can the employer change without prior notice?
The work hours set forth in your employment contract should describe exactly your hours of work (e.g. 9:00 am - 5:00 pm local time Monday through Friday). These are to be honored by both parties (Employer and Employee) as a basic tenet of the contract. It would be very unusual for such a contract not to have a clause which permits changing of any of it's terms (usually by mutual consent). If yours has a change clause review it to see whether it permits either party to change the work hours without providing advance notice. It would be equally unusual for a contract to not include such a feature. Since you question the validity of changes to your contract, it is perfectly acceptable for you to contact Human Resources (in a larger company) or your Employer (in a small business) and in a professional manner, inquire why the change is being made this way, and what terms of the contract the Employer is making them under. It's called "clarification". You may find you overlooked some fine print when signing. If not, or the answer provided by them is still not clearly supported by what you see in the contract, you should consult a lawyer or labor relations professional of your own. Before proceeding in that direction you need to weigh the consequences in terms of your relationship with the Employer, and how "winning" a point through legal action may affect your long term professional reputation.

Can a union make you take a lunch at or before your 6 th hour of work?
No. A union has no power over workers at work. Only employers enforce work rules. In the rare case of a union contract, the employer insists on the hours it agreed to in the contract. The union has no role after ratifying the contract, unless the employer violates it.
Can an employer fire you if you attend school with them knowing this and they put you on the schedule during your school hours?
yes, unless you have a contract stating that they will not do so.
Is a contract valid with wrong working times and wrong payrate?
I assume that it is you who want to consider it invalid, not your employer.In no way can your contract be considered invalid by your employer if he changes your hours or pay. For example, if you have a 1-year contract and halfway through your employer raises your pay and then a month later he says the contract is invalid, that would be incorrect.It is easy to break a contract if both parties agree. If you all agree the times and pay rate are wrong, and you all agree that the contract is obsolete, then you all can write a new contract.If the hours and pay were changed with your agreement awhile ago, then it is too late to complain and the rest of the contract is probably still valid. You could consider forcing the issue by working those contract hours and at that pay. By contract, you are OK to do this! If your employer doesn't like it, then you can suggest the contract be changed or renegotiated.If the hours and pay are being changed today, then it is breaking the contract and you have 4 choices: 1) You can insist that contract stay as it is, 2) you can ask for the contract to be updated with the changes, 3) you can consider this an opportunity to re-negotiate a completely new contract or 4) you can use it as an excuse to leave.
