Dh's friend , a plasterer, of a small'ish firm, so no TU or anything. Not sure of exact details, but his boss, just 'announced' that there would be a 15% pay cut.
Build Centre laid off 6000 staff on Fri. Whole building industry slowing down. Houses not being built. Effects of Northern Rock being felt. Dh's mate feels he is in fragile position.
But should there not be negotiations ? Do the employees not have to agree to this, accept this. Or can it just be 'announced ?

Can a Company just "announce" a PAY CUT, rather than negotiations start ?
