Yes, unless you have a written contract. And even in a written contract, there are probably some loopholes that will allow them to lower your pay.
You, of course, can legally go out and find another job.

As long as you are still making at least minimum wage, then yes they can. If there is some contract defining pay rate, union or otherwise, then the contract would have to be honored though.

Unless there's something in writing saying he can't (like a union negotiated contract), then your employer is absolutely within his rights to reduce your pay rate.
Bummer, isn't it?

Unless you have a contract that states he can't, odds are without some special circumstances he can.
Check with the labor relations board to be sure.
