Pay Rise

Just spoke to a geezer recently back from somewhere hot, but rained over Christmas, and the guys and girls had a visit from the CinC (somebody high up apparently) who told them this years pay rise is going to be 13% (yes thirteen percent). Any gen out there?

do behave!! (said in a very camp 'carry on' style voice) if you believe that you'll believe anything. We didn't get 13% after the 1st Gulf War and that was a monster pay rise.

Typical of Blair to go better than the tories and after his showing in Pompey I think he was trying to justify such pay rise.

BOLLOCKS, we will never get 13%.

The Armed Forces' Pay Review Body don't meet until next month, so any rumour, whether it's 3% or 13% is exactly that - a rumour.

I think they probably meet quite regularly, They normally publish their findings in February.

I think someone got the dot in the wrong place. 1.3% more like

 

[Talk Wrench]

It probably will be 13%, but in troo noo labour fashion, this will be staged over 13 years by which time you will be made redundant, have alredy PVR'd or died from laughing.

I should imagine that they are meeting now or have completed their deliberations as 2006 review was announced on the 16th Feb.

I've been scouring the t'interweb trying to find some mention of when they are meeting/publishing their recommendations - nothing.

I heard they where taking 13% from us to pay for Labour donations but the plus side is we will all get a peerage from it. Lord of the manor at last.

With all the adverse press, RPI at 4.4%, inflation at 3%+ and current pay settlements at 4 - 7%, has Bungle Brown got the nerve to stick with his proclamation that public pay settlements should be no more than 2%?

Yes, he probably has. What does he care? He will argue that higher pay rises for the public sector would have to be paid for by higher taxes for the private sector majority blah blah blah.
