This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Reverse the further 4 years public sector pay rise 1% cap.
Public sector workers are worse off financially than they were five years ago having been awarded 0% or 1% pay rises whilst inflation has devalued their pay over the last 5 years. It is unacceptable for MPs to accept a 10 % pay rise whilst the public sector suffers. "We are all in it together".
