My employer recently changed my employment status from full time to part time while I was on vacation.

An employee at will has little protection. Check the handbook if there is onr at your job but it will only be a guideline. Without a union or an employment contract you have no recourse.

Discrimination based on gender, age, race, religious beliefs etc.. may give rise to a different answer.

Good luck to you.
