Same role, different holiday entitlements

Is a company permitted to change their holiday entitlements to new staff and not offer it to existing staff?

A company I know of, has increased the holiday entitlement for all staff commencing employment since the start of 2008, but not offered the same benefit to staff employed before this date. This is across the board as a standard company benefit, rather than for specific roles.

Are they permitted to do so?
 
Yes, unless you have some union which might have agreed something else.
 
While perfectly legal, it seems strange in the current environment that they are offering increased benefits to new staff. You would almost expect it to be the other way round, i.e. reduced benefits to new staff.

Is there any other 'balancing' in the overall package, e.g. lower salary, more hoildays?
