Sounds to me like they want you out. Not sure of all the legal jargon these days...but if a company goes section 29 (or something, this might be way wrong, I'm trying to recall 11 years ago) it means they are looking at retrenchments. This means they can offer you another position, and if you don't accept, they don't need to give you a package, and if you resign, they can appoint someone in the same position again. Bureaucratic mumbo jumbo...
I remember years back a company I worked for did this. As a solution to not retrenching they suggested to the union that everybody takes a wage-cut to save costs, the union accepted and we all had to accept the wage-cut...
My gut says, it is at least worth the time to sit with a labour specialist...also, review your original appointment letter. Any mention of relocation?
