The Netherlands is complying with a European Directive: 2001/23/EC. In the UK, that directive is embodied in the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) 2006 (TUPE) regulations.
Basically, the directive prevents businesses sidestepping laws and contracts that protect employees' rights by transferring those employees to another organisation. Seems reasonable to me (if you share my view that employees have rights).
