    Yes, if it coincides with the needs of the business/production they can.

    If you are in a union you must consult with your union steward/representative.

    It depends. If you're unionized, you probably have a clause in the contract that states a certain amount of time is required with notice for the change.

    If you're not unionized, check your job's contract/handbook/new-hire-information (if you have any) to see what it says.

    Otherwise, they can change your schedule whenever they want. It is a courtesy for them to notify you, but barring something extreme (ex. changing your schedule on your off-day, not telling you, and firing you because you didn't show up), you can't really do anything.
