As a headline, 10% doesn’t sound too shabby at all. There must be some size devil in the detail though, if after 2 previous weeks strike action and the prospect of even more, members are still resoundingly voting to reject. A horrible situation for all concerned.
It doesn't, but in the context of RPI being at 9% or so back in July 2023 (which offer is backdated to), it's only a substantive pay increase of 1%. The rest is simply keeping pay up with inflation.
