Sport Aberdeen Contract Change to T&C'S

rheya

Hi,

Was wondering if some professionals could give me some advice here..

I work with Sport Aberdeen, they are currently trying change all shift workers T&C's to save money for the company and to hire a new management team.

They have issued our 90 day notice and have been in consultation with the trade unions for this time. The formal 90 day notice came to a close on the '14th Jan 2013'. One Union has accepted and two have not.

I am not in a union.

We have all received letters now asking us if we agree with the new T&C's. Two forms, one green and one yellow which are identical apart from the 'I AGREE' or 'I DON'T AGREE' with a space at the bottom for us to sign and return.

What I don't understand is why are they giving us this choice ? I was under the impression that if a company wanted to change your contract they could after the notice was up ?

If I didn't reply to the letter but continued to attend work would this legally be deemed as me having accepted the new T&C's ?

here are some links on the BBC news about whats happening:

(due to being a new member I can't post new links but if you 'google' 'sport aberdeen terms and conditions change' you'll find two links at the top.

Any advice you can give me would be very much appreciated.

Thankyou.

If anyone would like to see the letter I have uploaded it to a respectable image upload host. & hopefully I will be allowed to send the links via pm ?

Regards

Rheya
