From what I have read and my understanding of contract law, the above statement is untrue.
To avoid the risk of a successful unfair dismissal claim employers must be able to demonstrate a substantively fair reason for making the change and must be careful to carry out appropriate procedures prior to terminating an existing contract as of course termination amounts to dismissal.
I am happy to be corrected.
