Can't help with that one, but no harm in contacting them and discussing the situation, I'm sure they'll be happy to help |

They probably won't help unless you subscribe. |

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit...

It might be worth joining. There are plenty of unions out there. You can leave at anytime.

No not at all. My union take it out my wages each month, but I'm sure you can pay by direct debit. You can talk to your union rep at any time, without anyone even knowing.

Might be worth checking all of your insurance policies (house, car etc) or anything similar you have in case there is some form of legal aid / advice included with it. Often you don't even realise it's included till you check the policy.

Because a) you'd be giving that up. b) there may be a chance you could be made redundant, so at least you have a month's notice. I know it's easier said than done but you should really get out of there sooner rather than later. |

How long have you worked for the company?
You mentioned 1 months notice however if there is a potential change to your terms and conditions then they have to give you indivual notice for example if you have worked there 6 years then 6 weeks up to a maximum of 12 weeks
Are the company carrying out indivdual consultation?
If so you could ask to form a employee forum that would represent all of your concerns and put this in writing and they have to confirm their response in writing

Definitely get proper advice, which you seem to be.
I remember a similar question popping up on another forum and seem to recall simply non-signing of a contract may after a certain amount of constitute implied acceptance.
Might be total guff, but worth covering just in case. The law is often an ass.

Yeah, I always thought best advice was to sign it but let them know you are only continuing to work under protest.
