[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1127083, member: 43436"] Uh... inflation [U]compounded [/U]at 6-8% is "real" inflation; continued at that rate, driver's wages would need to increase $2.25-$2.75 -- well below the negotiated raise -- to keep up with inflation. The raise you've received over the past two contracts exceeds what I earn our an annual basis -- and I live a comfortable life. If your "below inflation" raise ... which is really nearly double the inflation rate ... hasn't been sufficient to keep up with your expenses, then I suggest you hire a financial advisor to determine lifestyle changes.
