Is it legal if I complained about a manager and now my hours are being changed?
I complained that a manager publicly humiliated me and said untrue things about my work to others. The next day my direct managers said they are switching my schedule to one I can’t do due to daycare. They said it
was partly because of the issues I’m having with him. Do you think it’s possible I have recourse?

Unless your the reduction in your hours violates the terms of an employment contract or union agreement, it is legal. The fact is that a company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit. That is unless it constitutes some form of legally actionable discrimination (i.e. is based on your race, religion, disability, gender, age (over 40) or nationality). Botom line, you appear to have no recourse here.
