Except it isn't. A good bump is inflation +14%, meaning those workers will make 14% more than they are today in 4 years for real.

I'll eat my hat if inflation is less than 14% total 4 years from now in 2030.

They're only getting 3.5% per year, which is absolutely better than most of us will get sure, but it's still not approaching good. Also comparing 2024 and 2025 to what has happened since 2025 and where it's going to lead is just foolish wishful thinking. Raises that don't outpace inflation are not raises. Raises that meet inflation are also not raises.

It's potentially a raise sure, but most likely they'll see 0-3% total in 4 years over inflation. It's also very possible they see negative returns on that 14% given the economic situation we find ourselves in.

Edit: Also for the record that last 4 annual inflation calculations put us at 15.2% inflation from 2021 to 2025, comparing only two of those data points is kinda disingenuous.
