As someone who is a member of a recognised union working for a large, worldwide company... The company can change contracts with the agreed notice Wink

We were going to be served notice a few years back if we refused to accept new working agreements Angry

They have no legal right to do so without consent, but in reality, it needs someone to dig their heels in, and have the funds or access to funds to go through the legal system. Wink
When I refused to sign a new contract I was told that by continuing to turn up for work I was in effect accepting it.
I informed them that legally this only applies to a new employee who the company wishes to employ ,but for whatever reason hasnt/wont sign a contract. I never heard any more from them about it.

In reality, it wouldnt do. Unions (outside of the public sector) are a spent force, and all concerned know it. Its a good thing that there are no longer retarded egomaniacs wrecking (whats left of) British industry. On the other hand its a pity that theres no -one to provide checks and balances against dishonourable,short sighted, and in some cases downright  tyrannical employers - and there are still quite a few of them around.


Even in the Public sector they are pretty ineffective, I am only a member as an insurance policy. I, as others have been forced to accept a £1200 pa allowance cut, for using our own cars and yet I can not do my job without a car Angry the alternative is to use a Pool car but given the nature of my Job this is not practical, that said more and more of my colleagues are doing this and it is proving more expensive to the Local Authority......
