This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Cancell the proposed pay freeze for all state key workers.
Parliament should prevent the Government imposing a 3 year pay freeze on the very people who have enabled the country to function during the Pandeminc. They should be rewarded for their outstanding contribution and not given an effective pay cut after inflation is taken into account.
More details
If the Government can find £16,000,000,000 to increase the defence budget by 40% to fund yet another one of Boris Johnson's vanity projects, they can afford to pay these key workers a decent wage.
