I realise we're in a tight situation financially, but I can see no reason not to at least match inflation.

It's their policy to do the same with tax brackets, after all.

It comes after FENZ made an offer in June (5.1 percent over three years), which was declined.

NZPFU said members had not had a pay increase since July 2023.

Holy shit, so the offer is actually for a 5.1% pay increase from 2023 to 2028? That's 1% per year, and inflation is already up over 4% since mid-2023.

Yup. I genuinely don't know what else they expected.
