It's fairly outrageous because in most of the civilized world, a forced change in working conditions like this is equivalent to being fired and thus requires a certain amount of compensation. From everything that's being shown here, the people being fired will likely be getting nothing.

If this were to happen to me you'd be damn sure I'd be lawyering up.
