Public sector union UNISON looks set to rubber stamp a three-year package of pay cuts for workers in the NHS.

The proposed deal gives 2.75% in the first year.

In year 2 it gives 2.54%. Those on the lowest point will receive an increase of 5.7%.

In the third year the proposed deal gives 2.5%. It includes a flat rate increase of £420 (worth 3.17% at the lowest point) for the bottom three grades.

RPI inflation is currently over 4%.

Meanwhile, UNISON recommended rejection of a 2.45% offer to local government, which was rejected in a ballot of members last year, who also voted to strike.
