Almost 900,000 doctors, police, teachers and other public sector workers in England will receive above-inflation pay rises to reflect the “vital contribution” they make.
Labour and trade unions welcomed the move, announced by the Treasury, but warned that the increases would not make up for lost incomes under the previous public sector pay freeze. Care workers – who are paid by local authorities – nurses, midwives, hospital porters and other NHS staff will not be included in the pay increase.
We’d like to hear from those working in the public sector about their thoughts on the pay rise.
