There are. How about legal restraints on companies that sack employees
with no warning and for no reason?

There are. Take a look at the Employment Acts.

I know the Acts in question. Now how do employees signal that their
employer is ignoring those Acts and force him to re-instate them before
they go hungry or can't pay the mortgage/rent?

Through the proper legal process, if indeed, the employer has stepped
outside the terms of the agreement.

Poor people working on minimum wage take an employer to court and survive
without any income (NB unemployment benefit would not be payable) whilst the
law takes its course? Don't be silly.
