Sigh. Seems to be happening a lot more these days..
The contract your unit has with the client means chuff all to you, essentially - as others have said - check your contract of employment. This can be changed as BAJR has said through consultation and constructive dismissal, but your union I would hope take a very hard line against this. Good thing you're a member, this is exactly what they're there for!
Copyright - virtually every employer in all industries will hold the copyright. Even university lecturers, for example. What should be protected is your intellectual property, ie; your right to be established as the author of the work.
Good luck with this!
