All the Unions Gunning for Bumper Pay Rises From Labour
Border Force officials at Heathrow Airport have just announced fresh strikes. PCS, representing them, have expansive demands for civil servants including a reduced working week. The domino effect has begun – below are some of the public sector unions co-conspirators can expect will be demanding more taxpayer cash something to the tune of ASLEF or Junior Doctors’ bumper offers:
- Rail and Maritime Transport Workers Union: Demanding the same bumper pay offer given to ASLEF.
- Public and Commercial Services Union: Demanding a “cost-of-living” pay rise, 35 days annual leave, and “a significant shortening of the working week with no loss of pay.” Civil servants will be jumping with excitement…
- Local Government: Unite, Unison and GMB are now demanding a 5-6% pay rise for local government workers after Reeves capitulated to the pay review bodies.
- Royal College of Nursing: Likely to continue campaign for a separate pay structure that increases nurse pay at a faster rate.
- General Practitioners: GPs are demanding an 11% pay rise. In line to be granted…
- Junior Doctors: Planning on striking again in 2025 even after Labour’s 22% pay rise.
- National Education Union: Campaigning for higher pay, a lower workload, and free school meals.
- National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers: Demanding a national commission on pay to hike it even more.
- Police Federation: Calling for higher pay.
- Fire Brigade Union: Took a 4% pay rise from the Tories, campaigning for more.
The RMT’s Mick Lynch told the Times, external he expected a “parallel, synchronised offer” to ASLEF’s. It’s the Tory record causing tax rises, is it Rachel?
