do you know for a fact that they have employed her to replace you? Could it be possible they just like her & have employed her to cover another role? I would hold off all the guns blazing until you know the facts. Your friend, unless part of the hiring & management process could just be jumping to conclusions. Good luck with the meeting but remember to tread softly. You could end up making more trouble for yourself than you need to.

I agree with bee bee - don't go all guns blazing BUT if they have done this then its disgusting! I wouldn't even tell them you're planning to go back part-time i would insist on wanting to go back full-time and then they will really have to negotiate with you to accomodate you as like you said it is your right!!!
you have the right to go back part-time but if they think you are doing them a favour to drop your hours to accomodate the new girl being full time then you have more bargaining power. like drop your hours but not drop your wages to the same extent or sometyhing??
maybe they are planing to discuss with you your options at the meeting at friday and thats why they've not phoned you?
