Can someone explain to me why we keep entertaining various percentage increases on date of signing and following years? Instead of all that hullabaloo, why not just say every Jan 1, increase current rates by inflation rate, effective from the amendable date to indefinite time. That cuts out all the guessing and protects the rates, doesn't allow the company to gain from dragging out negotiations either past or future, doesn't (or shouldn't) scare stockholders because we're just maintaining our pay over time. We can all argue about the extras on this, like which inflation marker to use, pull-up clauses, or if you want to add an inflation+. But if we just get the inflation marker into indefinite time, can we not agree that that's a good starting point that cuts out most of the fluff that we're constantly complaining about?
