Welcome back Wayne
So it’s looking like most public sector workers are going to get double digit above inflation pay rises. This is standard Labour policy and as always will drive inflation through the roof. We saw all this in the 70’s, though many on here weren’t even born then. So get used to it guys, house prices will go through the roof, weekly shopping bills will be all over the place, the public sector will be well looked after and private sector employees will , as usual, pick up the bill. Anyway, enjoy….
Where did you read this?
It’s just our unions have said the government have offered us 5% which is below inflation and they’re fighting to get it to 5.5%.
Btw your government gave us a 12% pay rise last year.
The union wasn’t even asking for that.
Couldn’t believe our luck.

We are all living through it now.
Hey @davek what do you reckon to Pete's assertions we've got a proper left leaning Labour govt on thrall to the unions/public sector that'll trash the economy like in the 70s. You must have lived through that, right?

I’ve just had a google and there is absolutely nothing on double digit pay rises for public sector workers?

“A Cabinet minister has refused four times to say who would pay for the bumper pay deal for train drivers.
Bridget Phillipson, the Education Secretary, repeatedly dodged questions about where the Government would find the money for the 14 per cent rise over three years, designed to bring an end to rail strikes.
The “no-strings” deal, which saw ministers ditch Tory demands for an end to generous working practices, including a four-day week, looks likely to be accepted after it was hailed on Wednesday by Aslef, the train drivers’ union.
In an interview with BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Thursday, Ms Phillipson was asked four times who would foot the bill for the pay rise.
She refused to be drawn, saying only that the Government would ensure a “fair deal” for passengers and pointing to “wider reform” of the industry.”…

“GPs are demanding an 11 per cent funding rise in the hope of becoming the latest group of public sector workers to secure a cash boost from Sir Keir Starmer.
Family doctors across the country are currently taking part in industrial action after the British Medical Association (BMA) threatened to bring the NHS to a “standstill” to gain increased funding for surgeries.
Leaked letters reveal that the Government has awarded them an above inflation boost of 7.4 per cent – which the BMA has said is insufficient. The union is instead holding out for an uplift of 10.7 per cent in one year, saying this would bring real-terms income back to 2018/19 levels.
It comes as the Government handed train drivers a nearly 15 per cent pay rise over three years on Wednesday in an effort to bring two years of strikes to an end.
However, ministers have refused to say how that pay rise will be funded, raising the prospect of tax increases in the autumn Budget.
On Thursday night, senior Tories accused Labour of allowing pensioners to freeze by cutting winter fuel payments while finding the cash to fund the salary increases for train drivers.
They also claimed that, by caving into union pressure, Sir Keir had opened the floodgates to fresh pay demands from other public sector workers.”
