Why don't the union just ask for salary increases at CPI and nothing more.
QF dont even want to pay the CPI, which in itself as a benchmark is a croc. CPI average = 3%. Go and take the last 12 month period and tell me how much or by what percentage your rates have risen, fuel/food/services/electricity/water and pretty much anything else you put your hand in your pocket for has risen and then tell me if CPI is a good indicator ?
Furthermore, there is not one airline CEO or politician whose wage has gone up at the CPI index or less, they are priveledged to receive rises in excess of 20-50% on average as a minimun. I am starting to think the only way to get any action happenning in this country at any level is do what they have done Egypt....
