Rachel ReevesThe Chancellor faces additional pressure from millions of public sector workers following recommendations that a 4%salary increase should be offered.
The proposal was presented by the independent wage review organization, which represents 514,000 teachers, for the increase to be close to 4%.
Meanwhile, the body acting on behalf of the 1.38 million NHS workers increased 3%.
It was reported in the times that the increases were higher than the 2.8% increase that the government had planned and will have an effect on public finances.
Efficiency savings should be suggested to help schools and hospitals finance salary increases. Police, police and soldiers should also be offered a salary increase.
This occurs while the government has borrowed nearly 15 billion pounds Sterling due to the increase in costs of service spending as well as increases in remuneration for the public sector last year.
The Treasury previously warned ministers that if wage exam organizations recommended salary increases, money should come from budgets already in place.
It is provided that the recommendations presented by the compensation examination organizations will be accepted entirely by the government, but it will not be enough to ward off industrial action.
An NHS source said: “It will drop very badly.” These are people who have not given them much in recent years and we know that the nurses gave themselves for a kind of industrial action, the unions are very upset and it will still be troubles. “”
Ben Zaranko, Associate Director of the Institute for Tax Studies, said: “Payment of staff appropriately will be critical if the government has to make its improvements promised to hospitals, schools, prisons and the police.”
However, he added: “If the payment recommendations were ahead of what the public service leaders have set aside, and no additional funding is to come, this will require ruthless prioritization and the difficult choices elsewhere.”
A treasury spokesperson said the government was considering the recommendations and is said to be in due course.
He added: “Last year, this government accepted the recommendations of the entire independent wage revision organizations, providing the first significant increase in real remuneration for years.”
Strikes were threatened By the Nasuwt teaching union unless the remuneration price was funded by the government, instead of being created from budget cuts.
Meanwhile, the National Education Union, the largest teaching union in England, is committed to organizing an official ballot if the offer is “unacceptable” or no additional funding is offered.
Other strikes could also be organized by NHS workers resulting in more disturbances in hospital services and delayed care for patients.
