CREW webinar on public sector pay

About this event

After ten years of austerity and pay restraint in the public sector, we arrive at a Covid pandemic, more austerity and a cost-of-living crisis. How will the Government respond to upward pay pressures in response to rising inflation? We already have deepening staffing problems in the NHS and in teaching. The government is under pressure to produce a long-term workforce plan for the NHS. Our expert speakers will address these issues, assess the questions raised by government policy on pay and look at what is happening to recruitment and retention. Our three trade union speakers are all involved in negotiating on pay and conditions in different parts of the public sector. Each will look at possible outcomes for pay and long-term recruitment in 2022/23.
