If this comes out correct then MDEC workers would get the following,
£175 Lump Sum works out at an equivlant of 2.1% Pay Rise for the backdated element, then if 5.4% if then applied a monthly increase of £63.72 a month, taking the annual salary to £14916.
Then after next years increase of a meagre 1.5% annual wages would be £15139, as long as this deal does not remove MTSF agreement, especially for my fellow employees on weekend shift who's future is yet to be known.
