Workers at the Pensions Regulator are to receive a pay rise after a breakthrough in negotiations after a long-running campaign of strikes.
The Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union said that the deal would be worth an increase of up to 7.55 per cent.
The Brighton-based workers took more than 60 days of strike action.
PCS general secretary Fran Heathcote said: “This hard-fought and ground-breaking, above-inflation, pay outcome is just reward for our members who wouldn’t back down during their long struggle.”
The Pensions Regulator said: “We are pleased to have reached a pay settlement for 2024-25 which is fair to our staff and prioritises those at the lower end of their pay band.”
And in conjunction with the NI raid from government no doubt sooner to be fewer of them.
That is always the risk of fighting for higher wages; fewer people can be employed. I guess there is a question there, would you want 10 people employed with a decent wage, or 20 people employed in poverty?
What about all the low paid workers who don’t have the luxury of strike action, typical Labour making the country bankrupt again. The Pensions Regulator is something we can do without anyway, they should all be sacked.
