Unsociable hours working

[I Know Nothing]

I seems to always have had jobs which involved unsociable hours. Started of as a van driver, owned a courier business, worked as a truck driver, worked in transport offices and then IT. Now I am back truck driving.

I used to get time and a half for working nights, Saturdays, overtime, double time for working Sundays and bank holidays.

Now they are offering me a £1 extra for working nights, £2 for working Saturdays and £4 for Sundays, no overtime pay.

Friday I was offered £16.75 an hour for doing a Friday night and Saturday night, 75 p extra what I usually get!

This seems to be happening more and more, the rail companies are demanding railway workers work unsociable hours for less pay

Considering the health implications and social implications should there be legislation limiting unsocciable hours working?

Some sectors do have unsociable hours work limited, pilots for example, nurses for example
