That's the problem. It's the start of a cycle..
Costs go up. People demand higher wages because the cost goes up. Companies have to find those extra wages somewhere, so their costs go up. They need to cover those costs, so their prices go up. Hence, the consumer ends up paying more, and demands higher wages.
I am not defending those companies who make record profits while cutting their staff wages (effectively), but we need to break that cycle. Unions, in my experience, do not want that cycle broken because while it would ultimately benefit their members, they just want their members paid more.
