These are the most relevant figures for the upcoming short and long haul EBAs. An initial 20% is
not a pay rise it’s just keeping up with actual inflation over last couple of years. Well even then probably not even keeping up in reality but a start.

Every worker in this country should currently be entitled to a 180% pay increase. That would keep us all up with real inflation. Also every politician and just about every corporate ceo in this country and well The West in general should be lined up against a trench or wall for treason.
