I’m a government employee in another country, our pay increases are part of our collective agreement and even if an anti union government is elected they have no choice but to give us the salary increases included in our agreement. Our chief of State has no power to prevent it.
Hell, salaries are one of the most important parts of a collective agreement!
That’s fair and it’s more steps to other than just the president saying ok, but I have to deal with the system I’m in. It’s still better than most other unions in the states. The trump years we only saw like a 2% CoLA which was barely noticable. There needs to be a huge legislative overhaul for real. I’ll still take the cheaper health insurance with a great 401k deal in the meantime. I am so frustrated with my country.
“It’s still better than most other unions in the states.”
Didn’t the auto unions just end their strike? Because Ford’s just negotiated 25% over the next 4.5 years, that’s predetermined increases that they company has to deal with no matter who’s the CEO…
I think your union might not be as strong as you think…
No but it’s the one we’re talking about now and it’s a major one. You can have great conditions in general, if you can’t afford to live where your job is because the last government that cares about its employees was elected 8+ years ago, you quickly realise that your union failed to protect you.

Pay is not the only factor.
