Have you been completely asleep during 2010s and completely unaware of life for young working people now?

Shock horror that the trade union want a deal to try and reduce the huge downward spiral in their real terms living conditions. Its staggering that anyone could argue against it.

Well someone said no one was better off, to which I proved that the minimum wage rises in the last decade have gone up twice as fast as inflation.
If only you lot could eliminate economic facts and anyone with different opinions, then finally you would be happy! :hehe:

Here you go.
Well, sorry to bring some facts to the table, but the minimum wage was £6.19 in 2012. It's £9.50 now. Thats an increase of 53%.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation..._Wage_Act_1998
We can add a little from the last few months, but Inflation from 2012 to 2021 was 25%.

No one disputes the global financial crisis, then a pandemic then a war in Europe don't impact on things. They do. It's been fkn tough, but the solution isn't to give everyone 10% more money. You may want to support the union on ideological ground but you know that in your heart it isn't the answer for the country as a whole.

Nah you're talking rubbish. When has housing, gas and electric and petrol been this expensive? Millenials currently have around 7% of wealth compared to 22% boomers had at the same age (https://fortune.com/2022/03/22/mille...llion-boomers/).
Your generation just deny deny and deny that there are any issues and then act shocked when people begin to strike.
I honestly think lead paint has ****ed your heads.
