Employment contract - can they really make him to agree to this?

Dh work has given him a new contract and said sign it OR you will be made redundant. The contract has some rather odd clauses like * He cant work in the same industry for 12 months. Dh is a labourer???? his workplace has provided him no additional training in his time with them. What else is he supposed to do? * He has been with them for 5 years and the new contract says that he would be on probation for 3 months? His job has not changed with the new contract. Can they do that each year? * They want him to agree to extra unpaid overtime to cover shifts for other staff that dont finish work or are sick. He is fine to do extra to finish his duties but they want him to do extra work rather than pay overtime for other staff. That cant be right? * Can they actually say sign or you will be redundant would the position be redundant or not? Thanks for any help.

Hand over the chocolate and no one gets hurt
What is his employment status at the moment? Is a permanent employee? A temp? A contractor?
