None, I think they'll need a consumer credit licence.

In a resort I would expect high usage of free-phones.

None whatsoever, in fact by demanding money under threat of an undesired action they themselves could be commiting a serious crime (10 year imprisonment) ;

Extortion ;
Extortion (also called shakedown, outwresting, and exaction) is a criminal offense of obtaining money, property, or services from a person, entity, or institution, through coercion.

Coercion ;
Coercion is the practice of forcing another party to act in an involuntary manner (whether through action or inaction) by use of intimidation or threats or some other form of pressure or force, and describes a set of various different similar types of forceful actions that violate the free will of an individual to induce a desired response.

Extortion, which is not limited to the taking of property, involves the verbal or written instillation of fear that something will happen to the victim if he or she does not comply with the extortionist's will.

And possibly ;

Blackmail ;
Blackmail is the use of threats to prevent another from engaging in a lawful occupation.

As Sussex says in a resort freephones are well used especially in places like bingo halls,medical centres and the like.As for fines there not really enforcable,but if you choose to work for the company i guess you abide by their rules ?

Exactly you signed the deal presumably?

Why not call an EMERGENCY meeting to consider the situation, and insist only those present can vote, go armed with a written proposal and organise supporting members to attend and vote ??

wish you luck

Or when you get called to the office set your phone to record the meeting and if they fine you make a complaint to the police of extortion/blackmail/coercion and see if they agree, or maybe there's some other offence that's been commited (demanding money with menaces?)

Only takes one court case and a company owner in prison for all fines to stop. And it doesn't have to involve money, any threat that something undesirable will happen if you dont comply could be seen as an offence.

I really despise being told what to do by the people who's wages I pay, if anything that makes ME the employer.

But hes signed up to and pays his dues to that cpmpany,and as he says he agrees with fines.

Had a responce its the same one as always

A new manager
