When the junior doctors were awarded 22%?

Junior doctors will not be getting 22% in a single pay rise. It’s a nice spin but half of that is on a promise.

Where is this graph from because I am band 7 and I don’t make 50k. Is this including London uplift?

And that recently they were paid money that they were legally owed after being wrongfully underpaid for years which was heavily taxed (it would not have been had it been paid appropriately) and also effected UC payments.

I know, this affected me. Also the paltry pay rise will be delayed with negotiations which usually go nowhere meaning we get back pay in nov/dec. Then it just goes towards the UC payment I lose in January. It’s ridiculous.

I am on agenda for change. It's above inflation and it's reasonable.
I'll be accepting my pay rise happily. We also had 5% and a lump sum last year so over the same two years we've a good increase.
Doctors haven't but I do think their offer is reasonable but understand they aren't happy

I think it's unreasonable to make demands twice above inflation. It will just end up meaning BoE Will say inflation is too high again and not reduce mortgage rates for everyone.

My nurse colleagues were so disappointed that there was not a mandate to strike last time there was a union vote. They didn’t understand why so many of their colleagues didn’t want to strike.

Are you aware that school support staff have been offered £1,290 pro rata as a flat lump sum for the entire year? i doubt that even makes it a 2% rise.
