I'd like to know what world you live in where inflation is going to go down.
And just so you know, there are a TON of things that are not within the control of the company, not just inflation. Besides, longevity/annual contractual raises are for the inflation factors. The reason contracts are negotiated every so many years if for way more reasons than that alone.
Pay freeze=Pay freeze. Pay cut=pay cut. Doesn't really matter though. You're arguing against another company about their contract while about to take a step back in your own. Didn't you say you'd rather be put on the street than take a paycut? I could have sworn you did.
