    Hi there
    Long time user but going unreg for this one! Just a quick query as to what might rights might be on this. Basically I applied for a job a year or two ago now and the job description & interview mentioned a number of things (let's say 6 or 7 facets/aspects), which I based my decision to take the job on, but in reality I am only doing one or two of those things. I would love to get the opportunity to do what I thought I would be doing e.g. the other 5 or 6 parts of the role and develop my skills.

    I have discussed this several times with my manager and am getting nowhere on it. it's not about money or promotion or anything so I feel it is probably not something that I can get the union involved in (I would be loathe to go down that route anyway tbh, but if it is my only option). I figure unions would just be for pay-issues really rather than the specifics of the job?? Do I have any rights to have my voice heard? I understand job specs are only ever a guide and you need to be flexibile, but when it is such a large portion of it, it makes it more difficult to accept.

    Thanks in advance
