💨 Abstract

Millions of public sector workers in the UK, including nurses, teachers, and armed forces members, are set to receive pay increases ranging from 3.6% to 4.5%, despite ministers previously stating there would be no additional funding. The raises are higher than the budgeted 2.8%, leading to potential strikes. Bridget Philipson, Education Secretary, suggests schools find the first 1% through efficiency, with additional funds covering the rest.
