About time some public sector staff got a proper pay rise. But it doesn’t make up for ten years of real terms cuts. And it leaves out lots of workers - not least social care staff, who put their lives on the line in this pandemic.

Applying our social science knowhow, we produced (I think) the most comprehensive gender pay audit ever on a single profession.
One of the most fulfilling projects I ever had the pleasure to work on.

The government may be considering excluding NHS workers from pay freeze, but to even contemplate denying other essential workers a pay rise next year is appalling. Whatever happened to all that gratitude?
#clapforcarers
Millions of key workers are facing a pay freeze, including:
👩🏾🏫Teachers
🧑🚒Firefighters
👩🏽⚕️Care workers
👨💼Benefit workers
👷🏻♂️Refuse collectors
🧑🏽💼Community health workers
They have kept Britain going during this pandemic.
It's time the government gives them a proper pay rise.
