The Labour Government

They ponied up exactly what they wanted with no conditions. If you call that ‘negotiating’ then knock yourself out fella!

Think you might want to look into exactly whatdeal was agreed. Certainly wasn't the 35% they were demanding

Did they really, OK

Yes they did. OK.

They knew 35% was totally unrealistic. Read Brewster Millions posts.

Workers must keep all tips from customers under new law

Bosses must pass on all tips and service charges to staff under new employment rules.

Good work by labour. An estimated £200m will go to workers rather than businesses and shareholders die to this new law.

I always ask if they get the tips before giving one, I’m all for them sharing amongst kitchen staff etc but not with the companies bottom line. More and more places are just adding it these days.

They negotiated and agreed a pay deal over two years. Sorry to burst your bubble but Brewster isn't an authority on it

These are some of the people who during covid were risking life and limb looking after patients even though the equipment supplied wasn’t up to the job and they’d had an erosion of their pay and were on less money with inflation than they were 14 years before.
Sometimes people standing at their front door clapping just doesn’t cut it.

I didn’t agree with the clapping nonsense either, as I thought it was patronising.

However the 35% pay rise demand was unjustified in my opinion, not least because it was calculated using RPI. RPI is a flawed measure of inflation and typically overstates price growth by around 0.75 to 1%-pt each year - a key distorting factor when looking over a period of ten, fifteen years - and so using this measure wasn’t a realistic choice for negotiation.

They didn’t negotiate, they simply gave them what they asked for.

It was a nice cosy little agreement that they would strike before the election, back up the waiting lists and then get what they wanted when Labour got in.

Haha, what a strange thing to say , are you ok ? I worry about the terrible efforts at wumming or are you still crying about the tories?

Why did they strike in June, a few days prior to the election, when the government couldn’t have negotiated with them or agreed to a deal even if they had wanted to?

Do you think the timing was entirely coincidental?
