Rachel Reeves faces pressure from public sector unions demanding higher pay increases as inflation climbs unexpectedly. The government proposed a modest 2.8% raise for public sector workers, citing economic forecasts. However, with inflation projected to exceed 2.8%, unions argue that this increase is insufficient and call for greater adjustments. Union leaders express concerns over real-terms pay cuts and the need for sustainable future pay increases. The situation may lead to potential industrial actions by groups like the National Education Union, indicating widespread discontent among public sector workers.
The Government's suggested 2.8% increase for public sector workers may fall short as inflation is projected to rise, prompting unions to demand higher pay.
Inflation is rising faster than anticipated, leading unions to argue for above-inflation pay increases to alleviate the burden of the cost of living.
