If TOIL is in your contract, to remove it later presumably results in a break (and perhaps resigning) of your contract. If you continued to work for them after that, I guess the old contract would still apply since you never signed a new one. Which means you should get TOIL. So I think he's right to whine about that. You can't just summarily change peoples contracted working conditions without notice and proper consultation. There are legal processes to follow to do that. It doesn't look like they did those. And it does look like they broke the EWTD by letting (and a case could probably be made to say encouraging) people work crazy hours. So yes, I agree they should have seen this coming and got out before it got this bad, but that's kind of what the laws there for. To protect the people who didn't.

Often times companies change rules and policies and it effects everyone; if you continue to work there then you agree to those conditions. You don't sign a new contract when you get a raise or when you get a promotion, or when you change offices, or they change who delivers food, etc...

  You should still receive official written notification of the change. (And if you choose to leave due to that change, you are not contractually obliged to work a notice period either.) I agree about the continuing to work thing, it's not obvious from the article if CM followed the correct procedures when implementing that change.

  Some changes to employment contracts can be deemed to have been accepted by your continuing to work there, some legally require you to formally agree to the revised contract, if you don't you aren't bound by it. This is to prevent employers making detrimental changes to contracts after hiring people. All the above applies to the uk, not sure about other countries.
