Brilliant news. Deserve more but I’m sure most will be happy with that. Another 8k into our household a year.

Council workers get 1-2% after years (and years) of frozen pay, so armed forces aren't the lowest

Didn't Cornwall implement the recommended 2022/23 pay offer of a flat £1,925? For 2023/24 the offer was the same but this time rejected.

Can’t see 6% being accepted by junior doctors in England when Scotland have just accepted a 14% increase over 2 years.

17.5% over 2 years.

Not a chance the JDs will accept 6%.

Wonder how they negotiations are going for police staff. Always find it odd how they are separate.

Must admit these are higher figures than I expected. The unfunded bit will be killer for some budgets though.

5%. They did also get a one off payment for last year.

The nurses got mugged.

Absolutely appalling really. I just can’t believe they couldn’t get a mandate for further action. They deserve the biggest rise.

The strike action was getting in the way of the union leaders time at the golf club.

When the rest of AFC caved they lost their momentum.

Junior docs not getting anymore. Pointless to strike.

Based on what exactly? They're currently able to cripple the NHS backlog and costing the Government vast amounts of money.

And what has that led to? Silly 35% demands will never be fulfilled.

Ask the Scots what it lead to. 17.5% over 2 years and a commitment to the 35% restoration long term.
