If you were hired because you told them you were available for certain times, and , later, change your availability, you can not only be demoted, but could be laid off.  Just because someone else is getting days off that you would prefer does not mean this is not fair.  Perhaps they were hired under these hours of availability.  You may have been hired because they needed someone who was available for the days and/or hours you originally told them you would work.
