Hearing rumours from well placed sources that the CS element of Defence will be getting an offer between 1-1.5%, with a reminder that anything above 1% means money coming from elsewhere. The offer will of course be subject to Union agreement.
And given the other sectors have been getting full inflationary rises or more, I don’t see the Unions being in a hurry to write thank you notes given the pressure we’re under, the years of pay restraint and the current 2.4% rate of inflation.
It will also make giving the military any more much harder if they want to play the ‘whole force card’, which they have been doing a lot in recent times.
I think its going to be an interesting summer for Defence funding if this turns out to be correct.
