Article Abstract:
UK pay settlements continued to average 3% through April 1997, although lighter wage pressures and the switch to a Labor Party government could affect this trend later in the year. For example. Labor has promised to install a national minimum wage, which could have some impact, although its immediate implementation is unlikely. Wage negotiators should base their strategies on the effects of the strength of British sterling, the tighter labor market, consumer demand, and rapidly growing average earnings data.

Public sector pay in 1996
Article Abstract:
The United Kingdom's public sector pay raises held steady, around 3% for 1996, thus lagging behind the private sector. This is based on a survey of 4.3 million workers in 165 employment groups. Negotiations were harsh for some groups, and further difficulties may occur with college salaries. Results are presented for each group, from Sep 1995 to Sep 1996.
