Match public sector pay rises with the rate at which MPs pay rises are increased

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

After reading a news story today I felt it wrong that MP's are getting a 1.4% pay rise. This is while public sector employees have been approved a rise of 1%.
BBC news - Unions criticise 1% pay rise for public sector workers

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Give all Public Sector Workers the same pay raises across the board.
