It is possible because the people in the bottom deciles can experience increases in pay, while people in upper deciles experience decreases in pay (in real terms). A wealth transfer from richer to poorer.

I view it as a good thing. Even in the US, I see stores/restaurants closing earlier, closed on Sundays, and job advertisements on the side of buildings advertising pay rates. That means the people at the bottom are finally gaining negotiating power.

I've heard of this happening, but to what extent is this true in the UK?
