Nice work if you can get it, and have the privilege of deciding what percentage pay increase you think you're worth.

I bet there are lots of workers, both in the private and public sector, who wish they were in the same position, that of deciding themselves that they deserve such a massive increase.

This week I found out that one big employer in Hyndburn is about to put it's entire workfoce of over a hundered workers on short time for the foreseeable future, cutting their income by a third.

Still, at least they can take comfort in the fact, as they scrape around to find the money to pay their increased Council Tax bills, that they are paying to employ the very best that money can buy.
