Two million public sector workers are reportedly set to get a £2bn pay rise.
Public sector pay was frozen for two years in 2010, except for those earning less than £21,000 a year, and after thatausterity was coming to an endThe rises do not apply to other public sector staff, such as more junior civil servants and nurses, the Times added. Their pay is dealt with separately.
I assume this will come from when they close the house of Lords and stop MP's lavish unnecessary expenses.
I see just as Govt borrowing has gone up to its highest level in 4 years that the magic money tree has been suddenly found . They should of had a pay rise years ago and this is just playing politics !!
Funny how University staff are considered public sector when there's a pay freeze, but not when there's a pay rise! Not had a proper pay rise in a decade.
BBC twist headlines the neo liberal way. BBC so Tory.
Why are teachers getting a bigger rise than police, police work 52 weeks a year 24 hours a day and any shift can be a risk of life and manage all walks of life surely their rise should be above teachers or at least in line
Selected workers- Norma civil servants are getting shite again
I work in the private sector and we haven't seen these kind of rises in over a decade. How can the public sector see bigger rises? It says 'existing budgets' but that means this money has to be rerouted from folk that will no longer have a job then, surely?
Nothing for the nurses?
2bn... Tempting to work in the public sector 😂😂😂
A tiny 2%..
£2bn?! Sweet - I’m totally buying myself a super yacht.
ros_tinkler A General Election is impending, hence the bribe.
Woohoo I'm only on £8.21/hr! EASY STREET HERE I COME!!
EACH!!!!!😀😀
Seems every out going prime monister gives away cash and honour to their pals as they know they'll not be around to clear up any mess ie Caneron gave his hair stylist & his chauffeur an honour. Elitist looking after themselves
is that 2bn each? 😉
You've missed a bit 'which must come from existing budgets'. There. Fixed that for you. You're welcome.
“Overworked and underpaid!” They squawk, as they embark on a six week paid holiday and hefty pay rise to add to their already bloated salary’s. This money should be allocated to the many refugees living in squalor and poverty, not paying for M&S biscuits in the staff rooms 😡
Fooling on one with this Election sweetener crafty cons
Out of existing budgets. Phew, say all the heads if academies, at least we can pay what we want and aren't obliged to give increases (apart from Tupe'd folk).
The problem with teachers is that they get paid no matter how useless they are. Public sector pay rises should be based on performance, not an argument about fairness. My English teacher at GCSE couldn’t even spell, let alone correctly use a comma, and I left years ago.
thats on the same wavelength that austerity is over
Scotland's oil still funding England's largesse. A nation of thieves.
A massive 0.75% increase over inflation. Let the good times roll.
General Election Alert! But are you stupid enough to fall for this bribe?
It's nice...but it's hardly anything.
Hahaha... and I suppose we still believe a Tory promise?!?
No extra money from the Government means a budget cut for local services. 😡
long overdue pittance-the rich are coining it in while millions of our people have had to rely on food banks to feed their families
Nah, not happening to the Civil Service
The Conservatives can bribe the public sector with a cheap pork barrel politics stunt
Each ?
PUBLIC SECTOR WORKERS TO GET 2B PAY RISE!...but it almost exclusively has to come from existing budgets that are already massively overstretched, thus putting the blame for any further cuts firmly at the feet of ‘greedy’ P.S workers. This Government is an absolute shower of shite
Not all of them though eh. Just the ones that just had and have continued to have pay rises through the austerity years. The rest ( non headline warranting) are going to get sod all again. Just go May.
Oh my God. This is going to break us.
“Soldiers”? The Navy and the RAF aren’t getting anything then?
A 2.75% pay rise, even if funded for 1 year, will be catastrophic for schools and will lessen the likelihood of an increase in per-pupil funding even more. How can she get it so wrong? Schools don't need to spend more on salaries, they need more income. Please, it's simple maths
For each? That is fantastic news, I want to becoming public worker, give me a brush and I will keep the streets clean, for 2bn of course yes...seriously BBC hasn't any better to write that?
No new money equates to a financial cut for the sevices strange way to anounce a tightening of the austerity belt
Yah! Right!
Each?
Each !
This is meaningless denude the sector as a whole by reducing the goverment settlement for it till it's at breaking point with the Tories ongoing policy of austerity Anounce a big number call it a payrise but it breaksdown to very little each, while the support for the service is?
Your defense of the zionist/apartheid state of Israel. Is up there with your decades of covering up of your organisations secret pedophile ring. Absolutely disgusting. When genocide is committed against the people of Palestine. Which you totally ignore.
So now Herr Trump is spewing your antisemitism bile. I wonder how many of you at the BBC. Are in Israel's pocket?
BBC/TORY TV propaganda again. Wages are 10 years behind. Cost of living rocketed. And I like how your antisemitism, Corbyn the red smear campaign has gone international. With Trump and his klan now using it. Attacking women of color. They learnt well from you.
What each⁉️✅
Right on cue BBC, the day after Jeremy Corbyn announces is going to demonstrate for a General Election next Thursday. You should make your Tory Party Political articles less obvious.
Unsung heroes. Thanks for serving your community.
