Seeking unity against pay freeze Submitted by AWL on 2 February, 2021 - 4:59

Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced in November that pay would be frozen for the 2021-2 round for 1.3 million public sector workers.
The freeze does not include NHS staff, who mobilised on the streets in July-September 2020 demanding a 15% rise, and will surely remobilise when their official Pay Review Board reports in May, or sooner.
The freeze also will not apply fully to the 2.1 million public sector workers earning below £24,000 per year, who will get an increase “of at least £250”, according to Sunak.
