Article: [Unionized workers achieved largest wage gains for a decade in 2025](https://archive.is/2026.01.06-100330/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-union-workers-wage-gains-employment-strike-industrial-action/)
Good, we need more unions.
While the gains are nice to see, it’s still not keeping up with inflation. CEO pay has seen an average increase of 49% in the last five years all while they pit the working class against eachother at the belief that taking job action for a 10-15% raise is “bad for the economy”.
My chapter (Unifor) negotiated a 2% raise in 2025 (and 5% over 3 years). If we had right-to-work laws, I would exit the union in an instant.
And the union collects 2% of our gross pay. Corrupt, do-nothing paper pushers.
Wage increases in a time of the most unprecedented inflation increases in the world.
Finally falling behind a little bit slower
And still not enough the rich are taking it all
Yeah we did but they’re less than 1/2 the rate of inflation the past 5 years so is it really a good thing?
Paywall.
Do they explain the data in a way that separates private and public unions?
I’ve come to the conclusion that trying to point out the inflation rate that drove the cost of everything into the stratosphere is still the price we are paying for everything except gas. 2.~% of current inflation rate continues to pile on those stratospheric prices can be likened to explaining the flag on the castle in a goldfish bowl to the goldfish every time it swims around the bowl.
Grocery inflation YoY in November was 4.7%, but sure, we can pretend that „inflation“ was only in the 2s.
Confused public sector union worker here. If thats our largest gain in a decade jfc… This has to be *private* unions. Def not CUPE…
If anything this will just make CEO want to get us replaced with Robots sooner because robots won’t complain or form unions and be cheaper to maintain.
Is this supposed to be some sort of feel-good story, or something?
Those increases don’t match the inflation we’ve seen over the past half decade. So what if they’re increases when we still aren’t even at the same levels of compensation as we were a paltry 6 years ago. We were *already* getting screwed out of fair pay *then* so, I don’t see any reason to celebrate this new norm.
As a union worker I still can’t afford a house.
But how much do the union bosses make?
