A few weeks ago my dept announced the names of 10 people who were moving jobs once they had completed training.Two people were then imediatelty removed as it transpired that they were on holiday during the training period, and my name was then added. I immediately told my manager that i too was on holiday and would not be able to undergo training. She returned after discussion with her managers and said that as i was a quick learner i would pick the new job up as i went along.i was not happy with this reply and so then was assured that i would get training... I have now raised a greivance as i feel that when selecting this new team they failed to include everyone as they did not include any one on part year working or annual leave. (apart from me) My manager says i have no grounds for raising a greivance but i feel so angry at this decision. Am i being stupid? or has the dept discriminated against me? Also i applied for a vacancy while this was in development and i have again been excluded from applying. Please advise?

[1] I'm assuming that you're not a union rep.
If your employment is being transferred to another company then you might have grounds to complain. If you are being asked to work in a different office, significantly further away from your home, you might also have grounds to complain. If you're just being moved to a different department within the same building, on the same contractual terms, then I think you'll find that your employer can do this under the terms of most employment contracts. Your employer can deploy you on any reasonable job.
It does sound a bit like you're kicking off because you don't want to move departments. In that case, tough luck.
1) What was the selection criteria? (and if they state that it was dependant on leave etc then i have been treated unfairly),
Discrimination is not really what happened and certainly the ones who have been excluded will have to take on their own challenges.
