BCFC Taunton Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Just as bad at local level, few years ago when there was pay freezes across the bad the council's in the county decide to give them self's a pay rise. Believed to be in the region of 20% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 thats still better than 0% for the last god knows how many years .... Tell me about it. Only had minor pay rises lower than inflation for the last 6 years! Also known as a pay cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I work for the council to dolly, I believe the latest offer is 2.20% plus a lump sum and the end of this month. That's is its accepted The 2.2% is essentially 1.1% because we haven't had anything this year. That goes with the 1% in 2013 and 3 years of 0% before that. In the context of the economy I don't think it's terrible, but it winds me up how Osborne can stand up in parliament and crow about how wages are now increasing in line with inflation, as he did earlier this year, then offer public sector workers a pay rise significantly below inflation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calculus Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Do some public sector workers still get annual 'point of scale' increments as distinct from a general increases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Haven't they just awarded themselves a 20% pension increase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 No, that's not true, I'm not having any of that. Westminster politicians have told us that we are all living longer, there, they said it so it must be true. Thank god we are now all working longer so we don't quite get there though eh. Funny thing was, I don't remember that being on any of the lying shitbags policies going into the last general election. If successive governments hadn't raided the pension pot perhaps there would be some money for the pensioners to live a decent life. funny ain't it, "we are living longer", the older generation had better diets, I bet you anything the life expectancy starts dropping quite quickly with obesity/heart disease/cancer and very unhealthy habits of today's youth through to 40 somethings. Lots of young kid sat on their arses playing Playstation xbox etc, Hey ho, all good innit! Tell you what, you see hell of a lot of obese kids nowadays, in my day you saw maybe 1 or 2 in the whole school year. fact of the matter they should be going down the take the pension earlier route, so there is a chance for the young to get into the employment market, rather rely on the old to prop it up, hey they may even invest back into getting young kids real work experience with apprenticeships, rather than wet behind the ears uni grads!

Well on the one hand I would say "well, they would say that wouldn't they?" but it's true to an extent. I do begrudge the pay freezes entirely as they happened in the private sector too. What pisses me off is when the government try and make political capital from crowing about UK wages exceeding inflation and then giving the people directly and indirectly employed by then a pay rise which is nowhere near it, all the while making thousands of them unemployed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
