Other Workers Are Getting Pay Rises
Submitted by Admin on 27 May, 2009 - 15:49Management would have us believe that all other workers are accepting pay freezes or 'moderate' (tiny) rises. Well, have a look at this list (one-year deals unless otherwise stated):
- Merseyrail drivers: 4.55%, first year of 2-year deal, effective from 30 January 09
- Trico Marine: 7.5%, effective from 1 January 09
- UK Coal: 5%, first year of 3-year deal, effective from 1 January 09
- House of Commons staff: 4.5% consolidated increases, including progression costs, first year of 3-year deal, effective from 1 April 08
