LONDON (Reuters) – Millions of British public-sector workers will be offered pay rises averaging 5% next week, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing unnamed government ministers.
The FT reported one senior minister as saying the government would accept the recommendation of independent pay review bodies – which are likely to recommend raises of around 5% – while another said directly that pay rises of around 5% were expected.
