I think no matter what any one of us non-experts in this field may think, in the OP's shoes, I know I would need to investigate any angle I could to re-establish the status quo of my life.
Our work (and income) is such a massive part of our lives, in terms of time spent, return (financial and esteem) and whether we like it or not, identity. To have all of those things unwillingly disrupted can be HUGE.
The sad reality is that for the vast majority of people who work, their income is very important to them, and their families. It funds where they live, what they eat, the clothes on their backs, and so on. For many people, if they didn't need that income to oil the wheels of their lives, they wouldn't go to work.
So, whatever chances I may inwardly think the OP has of reversing his employers' decision, I know if it were for me, I could never settle, until I "knew" they were correct, or wrong.
@Colin dale - I wish you the very best in your efforts. Whatever the outcome, you will learn a lot about yourself during the process.
