AMs Should Reject Recommendation for a 18% payrise
Petition
wording
With those working on the frontline in the public sector having pay
cuts in real terms, I urge AM's to reject recommendations to
increase their pay by 18%. By accepting this or any pay rise whilst
the vast majority of public sector workers are faced with pay cuts
and redundancies AM's would be communicating to those that they
represent a message of "'We're alright Jack, keep your hands off my
stack' (Money, Pink Floyd), with their "stack" being paid for by
public sector cuts, pay freezes and redundancies. I would propose
that AM's pay rise, freeze and cuts mirror those working in
education, NHS, Police and social services.
