STATES workers have accepted an inflation-busting two-year pay deal.

For this year workers will see their pay increase by 2.5%, which is higher than the current inflation rate of 1.6%, or an extra £10 per week, depending on which figure is higher.

Next year, employees will be guaranteed the higher rise of either RPI, 2.75% or an extra £10 per week.

Tool allowances for tradesmen were also increased by 50%, which in real terms could mean a rise from £3 to £6 a week or close to that mark. Other allowances will also rise by 2.5%.

These are people who do a proper job, so no nasty comments please. They don’t shuffle paper, they don’t rip people off and many won’t be able to afford to shop in Waitrose.
