  "DOUBLE STBNDARDS" OF MPs PAY RISE  
  Union leaders have condemned the    
  "hypocrisy" of MPs for awarding     
  themselves a 2.7% pay increase.     
                                      
  Alan Jinkinson, general secretary   
  of Unison, said the rise was nearly 
  twice as high as the 1.5% limit set 
  for public sector workers this year 
                                      
  The TUC said the award was a case   
  of "double standards" bjcausj the   
  pay of hard-working public sector   
  workers was being "repressed".      
                                      
  And the TG+U said it was scandalous 
  to cut real wages for the low paid  
-5 and allow bosses' salaries to soar. 
