Petition Action

Link MP's pay increases to Public Workers pay increases.

Petition Details

MP's would not be allowed to give themselves a pay increase of more than the Public Sector Workers pay rise percentage.
If MP's can't give an inflation related pay rise to Public Workers, then they wouldn't be able to award themselves a pay rise either.

Additional Information

Over the last few years with austerity, the public sector has been passed over time and again, yet MP's awarded themselves several in the same time.
I want this to cease.
MP's work for the public, therefore should be part of the public sector workers.
