In the movement phase a big mek with a shokk attack gun remains stationary. A unit of gretchin move up to within 2" of the big mek. At the end of the movement phase the IC is declared as joined. Can the big mek fire the SAG (heavy 1) in the subsequent shooting phase?
page 48, "If an independent character moves and joins or leaves a unit that did not move, the character counts as having moved in the ensuring shooting phase, but the unit does not." Does the reverse apply?

The character counts as joining the unit, the unit deos not join the character.
Meaning the character counts as moving.

As I read it the unit he joined isn't affected by his movement and joining/leaving. The character in the example counts as moving - not just because he joined the unit but because the unit has moved.

Agreed. The rules specifiy a character joins a unit by moving within 2". It does not address what happens if a unit moves within 2" of an IC.
So as nosferatu said, the IC can join a unit not the reverse (unless the IC is in a transport, then a unit that embarks would be automatically joined with the IC - page 67 BRB)

Actually, he does not join the unit.
In order to join a unit, an independent character simply has to move so that he is within the 2" coherency distance of a friendly unit at the end of their Movement phase.
Moving a unit to within 2" is NOT what is dictated above. The Character has to move within 2" of a unit. A Unit moving within 2" of a Character does not cause the character to join.

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
