P-04-613 AMs Should Reject Recommendation for a 18% payrise
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.
