A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

So the increase is because of inflation right? Raising rates for workers so pensioners get a cost of living adjustment?

The alternative would be, what I can only imagine to be, dubious taxation.

It's because there are less (future) taxpayers than there are pensioners so we have to pay more.
