You’re not wrong but 25% over 4 years isn’t going to even keep up with inflation if things keep going as they have. Our Union got 12% over two years for the upcoming contract and most of us aren’t happy about it. I know it’s better than most US workers are going to get but it’s not good enough.
Prices are still going up every time I go to the store. It’s nice for some think tank to say “inflation is down” but until I see prices stall out it’s just verbal masturbation.
