I am a school employee full-time for 4 years administrative assistant. The district is trying to add another full time job on my plate so I will be working two full time positions for the pay of one. The HR department has not notified me of this but the principal spilt the information to the entire school and teachers knew before I did of this change. Then I Received a text message over the weekend from the principal letting me know that my job duties were going to be changed and that HR said they talk to me even though they didn’t. I have gone to the union but haven’t heard back from the legal representative yet what is my right? What can I do? By the way I live in California
