economists say

[Over70irregs]

So let me get this straight, a good portion of the people on this website say we did not get enough of raise, keep up with inflation that supposedly we caused even though we had not got a raise yet, and then there’s you who says that’s getting a decent raise causes inflation? You might want to go look at the government policy and the Fed if you’re worried about inflation, not blue-collar people just trying to earn enough to pay their bills and Feed there Family.

We are trying to hang in a toilet bowl situation. It’s obvious the other unions across the nation took notice. They’re trying to get what they can now. At least they’re trying to make a stand.

I agree but to some on here we were “sold out”. And to others “we” caused inflation lol. Unions are everyone’s whipping Post.

financial progress is based on 3% annual inflation.. any more than that is runaway inflation. smart contract negotiators get colas of annual % of 3.5 %......otherwise you will never catch up and dig your people into a hole moving backwards.

The Unions are not every ones whipping boy. Just those on the right.

No such thing as right or left, it's winners or losers. A false dycodomy and a means to an end.

Any time you stand up for yourself you are despised. We stood and the world noticed. We are not done yet in spite of.

 

[BrownMonk]

one of the problems with unions aside from being communistic and no choice is that unions definitely without question cause inflation. those are clearly some of the tenets of unionism.

You have some major issues.

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

Are you of the belief this dynamic only exists in a partisan form, that the upper echelon wealthy Republicans motives are pure and inherently different?

SMH....

Ahhhh- another Union Guy that believes the Democrats are helping you.

They are distraction parties.

 

[Over70irregs]

Everything is inflation when you have too much unproductive instruments of finance chasing productive instruments that are not financed. One of the best examples of the cracks coming through is easily used home prices exceeding new home prices. In no place does that make sense unless the existing homeowners have a better financial position than the builders of said homes.

Just lower rates……lol. We’re in trouble.

Nope- they're all scum . Don't you have some work to steal?

 

[Trucker Clock]

Yeah, the existing homeowners have 3% mortgages, they’re 7.5 now. It’s a seller’s market due to low inventory. Rates aren’t going down for a long, long time. I saw it happen in the mid eighties, rates were as high as 13%. It was the late nineties before it got into the 5s again.

Bought my first house in 1988. I got the mortgage locked in at 10.5% the day before it jumped to 11%
