Yes. If they have offered an express agreement and tried to impose new terms with your agreement and neither have worked/been successful then it's the final straw basically.

Yes, I think Birmingham City Council is going to be doing something similar soon.

I don't believe Steve works. I believe his life is an endless cycle of making plane models, chroming gear knobs, taking HDR photos, learning dance moves, researching adders and posting on corsasport.

Worcestershire county council are doing this and although i work for a trading unit of WCC, we still have to abide by any new terms, which is gay as we are self funded it wont save the council anything on our behalf

it does seem a bit naff that in this day and age companies can do this, it kind of negates the purpose of contracts if employers can terminate and re-create with whatever they like willy nilly

most contracts are not really tied down and wooly anyway
I.e most benefits included in a job are subject to the employer seeing them as requirement to carry out your job
If they deem you dont need them they can just remove them
Be thank you are not being made redudant and they are willing to take you on a new contract

they have no benefit to make us redundant though i could understand if we were funded by WCC, but we arent, we are a very efficient trading unit, who generate our own incomes and manage entirely from our own funding. Yet WCC arent interested in tailoring the new terms and conditions bearing in mind that it wont save them any money whatsoever
its very narrowminded and inflexible
