I received two options from my employer today at Bell Canada. Either take a demotion and reduction of $9,000.00 in pay and 3% reduction in bonus or take a severance package of 12.75 months of base salary. Are they legally allowed to reduce your base salary?

I am a unionized employee of a security firm, with approximately 2.5 years of service. I was terminated one-half hour before my most recent shift was supposed to start. I was told upon being terminated that it was because a company for which my employer provides security wanted me off the job, and that my employer had no problem with me. They have gone so far as to offer me the opportunity to resign. My question is, was I given enough notice, and was I wrongfully dismissed? Am I entitled to any severance and/or other considerations? Thank you.
