The Public Sector Needs a Pay Rise

Hopefully by now you have signed the petition, written to your MP and started to engage with our campaign to secure a pay rise that meets the increased cost of living. In light of the recent inflation figure of 5.1 per cent, the PSA has readjusted its ask on the Government to a 5.2 per cent pay increase.
