Legal Question in Employment Law in Michigan

pay decrease
The company my wife works for recently changed ownership,the new ownership offered her a said hourly rate,she accepted,meanwhile a year later they tell her they are going to lower her hourly rate.Is this legal,after a full rear at agreed hourly pay, then lower it for no apparant reason.On top of thatthey said they might fire everyone making more per hour than they would like.I can see offering lower pay at initial change of ownership,but that wasnt the case she (my wife)accepted what they offered.I dont think it is right or legal .Please help on advice. Thank you

Re: pay decrease

Unless she has a written contract or is in a union, a private employer can decrease her pay as it sees fit. Sorry.
