Which was the point I was making.....it "appears to be" because it is being dressed up as a much higher payrise than it actually is! The bottom line is its 5% for 2022 and 4% for 2023.So the rail industry continues to be a drain on the national economy through a settlement that appears to be far higher than the one most health unions are recommending for acceptance by their members.
With back pay, an earlier anniversary date, pay-rises for two financial years, and additional top ups for the lowest paid, it equates to 14 or 15% on their salary for those lowest paid over two years (or possibly four if you include the fact that many staff received nothing in 2020 or 2021)
