Too late. The company acted so badly wrong that the only acceptable
response is to re-instate the lot.

Why? They still need to cut hours worked and cost.

Hard bloody cheddar. They tried the 'easy' way out by ignoring the law and
the employees rights. It didn't work. They - the owners, shareholders, and
managers, now need to pay the cost of their cowboy tactics.

Any substantial reinstatement would not achieve that objective, and all
that would happen would be to stave off a far worse situation in a few
weeks.

And I hope the appropriate people pay the cost.

The company managers failed miserably in their core responsibility to
shareholders, employees and customers and need to be sacked without
compensation for gross incompetence. Now.

That's just nonsense and irrelevant to the core issue which is that the man
hours worked by catering staff have to be reduced.

Clearly the company took on the contract at too low a price. Now they are
trying to make their ultra-low wage employees pay the cost of their
(management) mistake.
