If pay austerity is over MPs, it should end for other public sector workers too, says UNISON
Commenting on the confirmation last week that MPs are to receive a 10 per cent pay rise, Ravi Subramanian, UNISON West Midlands Regional Secretary said:
"Pay austerity might be over for MPs, but it goes on and on for everyone else in the public sector.
If pay restraint is at an end for politicians – who are public servants too – it should also be over for nurses, teaching assistants, hospital cleaners, council staff and other public sector workers.
