Do you have any rights regarding being transferred in any applicable union agreement or employment contract? Does your treatement in some way constitute some form of legally actionable discrimination or retalaition? If not, then it is perfectly permissable. The fact is that an employer can set the conditions of work much as it sees fit; this is called "at will" employment. Accordingly, you can either accept the transfer, reject it but risk termination, or quit.
