Unions demand £3,000 pay rise for 1.4M public workers, citing wage disparity and poor raises.

Three major unions representing 1.4 million council and school workers in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland are demanding a £3,000 annual pay rise, arguing that their members have not received the higher wage increases granted to other public sector workers. The unions are also calling for a minimum hourly wage of £15, an extra day of annual leave, and a two-hour reduction in the working week. These demands come after council staff received only a 2.5% pay increase last year.
