It's a huge worry when union reps such as Bealine come on here and make such grossly misleading statements such as "WW cannot legally force new contracts or new terms on anyone as long as you don't violate your contract."
err.....Direct.gov.uk (even a primary school child could find out this info):
Disagreeing to changes in your employment conditions
Sometimes your employer will want to bring in a change to your contract that you don't agree to. Find out what your rights are if that is happening and how you can raise your complaint.
What if you and your employer don't agree?
If you don't agree, your employer is not allowed to just bring in a change. However, they can terminate your contract (by giving notice) and offer you a new one including the revised terms - effectively sacking you and taking you back on. Your employer would be expected to follow a statutory minimum dismissal procedure. They may have to follow a collective redundancy consultation process if they plan to do this to a group of employees.
If this situation happens in your workplace, you should contact the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas) or another advice service from our contacts pages for further guidance.
If you don't accept the new contract - or if you've accepted the new one but feel there was no good reason for ending the old one - you have the right to make an unfair dismissal claim provided you've at least one year of continuous service with your employer. You may also be able to claim redundancy if you have at least two years service.
If there is a sound business reason for the change, and your employer has properly consulted you and looked into any alternatives, you could find it difficult to win your claim.
If anyone needs proof that BASSA have no understanding of the legalities of this situation, then Bealine's statement (albeit that they are from the ground union) proves it.
It is time to stand up and be counted against this atrocious union who are playing a very dangerous game with OUR lives and livelihoods.
