How large is the company? The UK has pretty strict rules but it only applies above a certain size: https://www.acas.org.uk/your-rights-during-redundancy .

e.g.

> If there are 20 or more employees affected by redundancies, your employer must hold collective consultation.

Of course, it relies on affect people knowing their rights and being willing to stand up for them, which isn't always easy, especially if you're not being let go.
