Petition: Pay Up Now! – Scrap the pay cap and give public servants a meaningful pay rise
petition.parliament.uk
Every single person who works in public services needs and deserve a pay rise. It’s time for the pay cap to be scrapped, for the government to provide additional funding for public sector pay and for employers to put public sector workers pay up now.
Well today's the day across Dumfries and Galloway we received our back dated 1% pay rise .
It might sound cynical but when a payrise is actually a real terms pay cut it is hardly an exciting event .
At UNISON we are committed to fighting for better pay for our members who give 100% and deserve more than one
Intrested in what impact the pay freeze has had on you . Try our pay up now calculator to work out how much worse off you are compared to if pay increases had risen inline with cost of living

We’re not satisfied with ending the pay cap. We want to see public sector workers recover the real terms losses they’ve been subjected to over nearly a decade of austerity. It’s completely unjust that public servants have been forced to bear the brunt of bailing out the bankers. It’s completely unsu...
