The WSI trade union research organisation says that collectively negotiated pay increases in the first half of 2007 are higher than last year averaging 3.7%. Taking account of longer-term deals, including those negotiated last year with increases in the first half of 2007, then pay increases so far in 2007 are running at 2.3% up from 1.5% in 2006. The AVEU energy sector deal covering the East is ahead of the average with a 3.1% increase for the year from 1 April 2007.
