This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Link public sector pay rises by % to whatever pay rise MP's vote for themselves
To ensure fairness to all public sector workers especially the many valued Key Workers who have been identified from the pandemic, link annual pay rises by percentage to whatever MP's accept as their annual percentage pay rise
More details
Rather than each independent public sector having to negotiate their own percentage pay rise and to ensure a fair & equitable approach ; make ALL public sector pay rises (teachers, nurses, police, fire service, etc...) pay rises linked to MP's Pay Rises by percentage.
Every time MP's vote themselves a pay rise, ALL other public sector employees get the identical percentage pay rise, payable immediately without deferment
If MP's vote themselves an X % pay rise, that's what everyone else gets
