All of these variations to the contract (pay cuts) are allowing the company to avoid redundancy payments and are with the expectation that when times improve they will want all crew so they can make buckets of money. This might be OK if they shared the good times, but withholding 13th month and the utterly pointless profit sharing scheme mean the profits aren't shared.
We should be pushing very hard for a meaningful and enforceable repayment of lost earnings when the company is making money again.
At the risk of sounding defeatist can anybody come up with a cogent plan? Purely a personal opinion but I think “pushing” would be uphill with a pointed stick.
