The incoming employer usually isn't allowed to make changes to someone's contract as a result of the transfer. Trying to reduce someone's wage because they pay existing staff less, is a good example of that.
Have you got a link to or copy of that agreement?

Just checked it again, it seems as part of the TUPE they have to sign it with the 6 months contract terms. Seems to be on the questionable side of legality and not formally supported by unions but they don't seem to disapprove of it either.
https://tangytango.proboards.com/thread/...n?page=576 - It's all discussed in here. No surprise who's been mentioned aswell as one of them doing it. I just skim through once in a blue moon to see if anything is heading up here.
Mind talking about this thread, it highlights one real negative of franchising and it being a real race to the bottom since it's all about lowest bids. Pay your drivers more = you won't win the contract at all.
