Reeves is already in thrall to the Unions, aka Labour's paymasters.  She will soon announce inflation-busting pay hikes for public sector workers.

From the Independent:

"Rachel Reeves has hinted at inflation-busting pay rises for public sector workers, highlighting the cost of industrial action from “not settling”.
The chancellor has promised that “people won’t have to wait long” for a decision after reports that independent pay review bodies have recommended a 5.5 per cent rise for teachers and around 1.3 million NHS staff.

“There is a cost to not settling, a cost of further industrial action, and a cost in terms of the challenge we face recruiting,” she told the BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme.

Ms Reeves added: “We will do it in a proper way and make sure the sums add up.”

She said an announcement will be made by the end of July, alongside the publication of a Treasury review into the state of public finances. Schools and hospitals are unlikely to be able to finance a 5.5 per cent pay rise, more than double the current rate of inflation, from their existing budgets."

The same old story, Labour are afraid of the Unions and will always dance to their tune.
