I disagree. Inflation has everything to do with it. If you get paid x
dollars per year, but the cost of living goes up, you are essentially getting
a loss in pay. A meat pie in my lifetime (about 20 years) has gone from 80c
up to $2.00 Rises above the inflationary rate should be based on production.
But in a situation where a pay rise hasn't been received in 10 years, don't
you think that employees are entitled to a catch up?
