If anyone is interested, the Supreme Court decided the case on 27 October 2021: "The Supreme Court unanimously allows the appeal and restores the awards made by the tribunal. It holds that Kostal’s direct offers to workers who were Unite members breached section 145B(2) of the 1992 Act."
Had a letter last week from my employer reporting errors in my pension contributions and that i would receive an extra one off payment in this months pay. Did not think too much thinking it was just a few pounds. The payment turned out to be £4500 do i need to be asking questions and what has this done to my tax and national insurance payments. If i had known it was going to be this much would off just told them to add it to my pension because it was not money i knew i was owed.
Why would anyone ever accept a pay cut? Everyone in the company should just walk together and shut the place down. If the owners want to keep an extra 36% for themselves then make sure they get 36% of nothing.
You might accept a paycut to avoid losing your job if your employer can't afford to stay in business under the current terms. Going on strike doesn't help you if it just bankrupts your employer. I would want to see extremely convincing evidence that that would actually be the case before I would accept any such offer (and I would be immediately starting to look for a new job either way).
