Why can't anyone just create a yearly increase that's based on inflation? It seems like it would be nice to not have this fight every so many years.
We're starting to see that negotiated in collective agreements at the municipal level around here
X% minimum, Y% max, adjusted to inflation at the end of the year if it's somewhere in-between
I remember my fairly conservative econ professor talking about doing that almost 20 years ago. Yet here we are. It would be a huge step forward for those municipal level changes to start spreading to higher levels of government.
It's frustrating that it's not more widespread considering it means that negotiations can focus on other stuff after that...
