Link public sector worker pay rises to % increase for MPs

Many MPs don't know what it is like to receive a one percent pay rise on an already low salary, and if public sector workers had been given the same rise as MPs have been given, year after year for at least a decade, then their salaries would not have fallen behind and there may not have been any need for strikes.

Pay for public sector workers should be linked to pay for MPs, to show equality is given to everyone. MPs are paid by the tax payer like public sector workers, but are awarded generous pay deals. Public sector workers deserve better.
