Do you have an employment contract or union agreement that prohibits such a decrease? Does it constitute some form of legally actionable discrimination? If not then this action was legal. In an "at will" work arrangement, a company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit. This includes when or whether to decrease an employee's salary. That having been said, the decrease could only take affect after you were informed of it. in other words, it can only be for work going forward, not for work already completed (i.e. it cannot be retroactive).
