Is it just me, or does this agreement sound like weak sauce? 8% over 3 years? That's barely keeping up with 'ideal' inflation let alone if it jumps again.

Is this on top of a COLA clause or something?

Something weird is going with them wages across the world.

Every country is actively not permitting free market for labor. Corpos colluding and when people stand up, government sides with industry.

Living standards are on decline across developed world majority while economy is growing technically.... Where is the surplus value going, daddy?

I only get this

In 2025 the general wage increases will be 2.1 percent plus 0.4 percent distributed by employers. That will rise again to a general increase of 2.3 percent plus 0.6 percent distributed by employers in 2026. The final year of 2027 will see a 2 percent general increase plus 0.4 percent distributed by employers.

To be 7.6% (7.58%) at best. With 6.5% being the baseline, the rest being up to the empoyer (the rest probably going mostly to middle management to ensure loyalty)
