I am British and work in England. The company i work for was taken over by a larger company a few months ago. Bit by bit the new management have been making changes to the terms and conditions under which we work ,ie different working hours, reductions in staff discounts, new pay schedule etc. All of these things were outlined very specifically in the contracts our previous managers gave us, but the new management have made the changes anyway and said that they see it as "minor changes to our terms and conditions". They have now issued us new contracts of employment which are less favourable than our old contracts, with several 'grey' areas, and it seems we are expected to sign them or 'seriously consider if we want to work for that company'.
How long are the new owners LEGALLY obliged to honour the former contracts of employment as issued by the previous owner/managers?
