In quite a few countries around the globe the next rounds of pay negotiations will soon start or have just started. And this time those negotiations most likely in a few countries might turn out to end in fights for workers getting at least the inflationary price increases covered.
Interestingly enough while those managers that have caused the current world wide economic crisis have recently given themselves pay rises of 20% or more (plus of course millions in bonus and dividend payments) they are once more demonstrating complete resistance to let those who create the results participate – even with a minimal share. And based on recent publications real inflation e.g. in the UK is actually closer to 18% and not around the 3-4% published by the government.
