OK I can agree to that. But what if there is no money to pay them the wage increase? What if the increase was based upon job performance which most jobs are in the private sector? Then how do you justify paying a salary increase when the numbers show you arent doing a very good job.
I know in my line of work that raises and bonus's are based upon job performance and attitude. Like I said we can agree to disagree, I say that in the hope that this discussion stays above the belt.
