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.

I'm not being silly at all. That's the legal process. Besides
which, they are apparently members of a trade union. If there were
a legally legitimate claim against the employer, the union should have
assisted with that. The starting point was an unofficial strike
because the employees didn't like the company restructuring.
The union had at least been bright enough to realise that the strike
was illegal and therefore didn't back it.
