cheers Sam.

here are the clauses they are wanting to add.

Quote
1.1 If there is a reduced need for employees to perform work of a particular kind on a temporary or
permanent basis, or any other occurrence which affects normal working such as a requirement to cut
costs, the Company shall be entitled to lay you off or impose short-time working for such period as the
Company shall decide.

1.2 While you are laid off you shall not be required to work and shall have no right to remuneration subject
to clause 1.5 below.

1.3 While you are on short-time working your working hours may be reduced as the Company sees fit and
your remuneration shall be correspondingly reduced subject to clause 1.5.

1.4 The Company shall give as much notice as is reasonably practicable of lay-off or short-time working.
Thereafter it shall give as much notice as is reasonably practicable of any further change to your hours
including a return to normal working hours.

1.5 During any period of lay-off or short-time working, depending on the circumstances you may have a
statutory right to a guarantee payment in accordance with legislation in force from time to time.

all I can say is it could be such a change in your working conditions that you could walk out and claim constructive dismissal - but I doubt you want to go down that route

Missus works for CAB (sadly not in Swindon) but she confirms that they should help with it if you contact them - they will only normally refer to ACAS if concilliation (poorly spelt!) is the process to follow.

She suggests that you also look on www.adviceguide.org.uk
