Budget leaves public sector workers out in the cold, says TUC

TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:

“The Chancellor had almost nothing to say to hard-working public servants, who are facing a real pay cut for the eighth year in a row.

“Public sector workers are a team. The Chancellor has raised hopes in the NHS, but has left other public sector workers out in the cold.

“The Chancellor should have done the right thing, and properly funded a real pay rise across the public sector.”
