At least write a letter pointing out the stupidity of their actions - both the retrospective nature and the (lack of) appeals process - and, having decided to not 'rock the boat' in this case, expect assurance that such unjust activity be prevented from happening in future!

That should at least remind them of the boundaries of their authority and responsibilities!
