Also, earnings in the\r\nprivate sector may not be able to offset the effect of pay curbs in the public\r\nsector. The three-monthly median (midpoint) for May remained steady at 2%, the\r\nsame as the previous month. LRD data available so far indicate that the median\r\nfor new settlements in the public sector has fallen to 1%. In the private\r\nsector pay freezes affected 13% of settlements (19% of new settlements) in the\r\nthree months to May, little changed from April but down on the higher\r\nproportion of freezes recorded earlier this year. Lewis Emery, LRD's pay and\r\nconditions researcher, said: “Although currently a degree of stability has\r\nemerged in wage deals, pay rises of less than half the rate of inflation spell\r\ncuts in living standards for workers in general, not just the public sector.” (See also this \u003Cem>Collective\r\nBargaining Newsletter\u003C\u002Fem> Year 3 May 2010).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">English: LRD Press Release \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.lrd.org.uk\u002Fissue.php?pagid=1&issueid=1392\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.lrd.org.uk\u002Fissue.php?pagid=1&issueid=1392\u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\">\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\">\u003Cem>\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\">\u003Cspan class=\"teaserText\">\u003Cbr\u002F>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\">\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\">\u003Cem>\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\">\u003Cspan class=\"teaserText\">This\r\narticle was published in the Collective Bargaining Newsletter.
