Public sector staff face 3 per cent pay rises

Public
sector workers are to only get pay rises in line with inflation this year,

The

teachers and army personnel – will this week learn they will receive annual pay
increases of around 3 per cent.

Around
440,000 teachers will get a rise of just under 3 per cent, while Armed Forces
staff will get just over 3 per cent. Inflation stands at 2.9 per cent.
