If delta of 1-2% in annual payraise makes the difference to any given person then this person should find job in a field that will provide for much higher salary in the first place - if you don't have enough money you need to look for radical solutions rather than huggle over fractions of a percent on a very small amount anyway.
Saving money is one of those ways to increase effective disposable income: less drinks, no smokes, use bike rather than car - in all these cases it will be Brown who will lose out in terms of money. -
I'll be the first person to say that nurses should be paid much better wages. I couldn't do there job (or more honestly, wouldn't).
BUT - we have to many now. Newly qualified nurses can't get jobs.
So what's Gorgo's incentive for increasing their salary any further?The pope is a tard.Comment

New nurses can't get jobs because of debt crisis - NHS frozen recruitment and fires people... because Gordon overspent on crappy PFI deals.Comment

strategy seems to be cut wages so people leave, then import a load of foreign workers to work at even lower rates.

In other words they are trying to double-count the extra money that promotions/qualifications bring; count it once as a reward for the promotion/qualification and count it again as part of an annual pay rise.
In yet more words; they are lying. And if more than one of them has been saying it, it's a deliberate systematic lie organised by spin-doctor central.
Actually, it's to clever a lie to have been thought up on the spot, so it clearly is cynical premeditated deception.Comment

Let me be clear.
The nurses will indeed receive nearly five percent more, which is nearly three percentage points about inflation. They should be very pleased with that.
And yet I have restrained their pay increase to within the budget of 1.9 percent, as a prudent Chancellor would, reassuring the taxpayer.Comment
