I'm not sure where the 2.8% 'in line with other public sectors' bit comes from? Most of the Strawbs that work with me picked up 13% over 3 years which is a tadge over 4%.
2.8% is less than the rise of my council tax this year (2.9%) which my local government is giving itself celebratory masturbations over.
Lets face it chaps/chapesses, 2.8% is an absolutely crap rise no matter what employment you are in when the cost of living is the way it is.
I suspect those with Sin service accom etc will see a correspondng rise in food and accom to offset the pay award
