Do not freeze the pay of public sector employees.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Our emergency services, teachers, care workers, and many more public sector workers consistently work hard and have had minimal if any pay rises over the past 10years. At a time when they have worked even harder to help the country survive, do not freeze their pay! They deserve better.
