UK unions criticize proposed 2.8% pay rise for public sector workers as below inflation rates.

UK unions representing NHS workers and teachers are criticizing the government's proposed 2.8% pay rise for public sector workers, arguing it falls below inflation rates of 2.5% this year and 2.6% next year. The British Medical Association, Royal College of Nursing, and National Education Union have expressed dissatisfaction, with some unions hinting at potential industrial action. The government insists the increase is fair, while the Institute for Fiscal Studies deems it "just about affordable."
