New legislation in the UK

I have just been told by my union that my current contract with my employer now breaks the law!The reason is that I as an employee of 18 years is paid more than somebody junior to me.My employers response to this will be to try and reduce my salary to that of a new starter -a 33% pay cut.I am sure this legislation came from the EU but it does not take into account length of service or the experience gained during those years.The only people who are going to be happy about this are employers and lawyers.
