In England, the government recently announced a proposal to offer pay increases to millions of public sector workers. This recommendation comes after continuous strike actions by public sector workers demanding pay raises to meet the financial pressures due to inflation. While some unions, like the GMB ambulance workers' union, claim the pay offer is not enough and plan to continue striking, other worker groups have called off planned strikes in wake of this proposal and potential negoitations.
