Commenting on Welsh Government’s public sector pay announcements being made today [10 September 2024], Shavanah Taj, TUC Cymru General Secretary, said: “Progress on public sector pay is strongly welcomed, as is the fact that these pay awards are above inflation and match what was offered by the UK Government to workers in England. We have stressed to government how important it is to avoid a delay like this in future.
“Public sector workers are at the heart of public services like our NHS and schools, and it is absolutely right that they are fairly rewarded for all that they do. It is now for the trade unions that represent public sector workers to take these offers to their members, who will determine if they are acceptable.”
