Had a look at my payrolls for weeks 13 and 14 and it just seems to be the employee who benefits. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked again. The threshold has increased from £9880 to £12570 which is a big saving for employees, but, as far as I can see, it stays the same for the employer. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over here we can get a litre of petrol for about £1.32 (conversion 1.16€ to the £) plus the Spanish government has been discounting it by 20 cents (17p) per litre since April and that discount has been extended to 31 December. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big businesses have shareholders, investors, their share price, dividends, stakeholders, borrowing power and all sorts of other things to think about. The profits are created by them, via business decisions they make, and result in wealth creation and knock on effects to help other businesses, positively affecting a plethora of people and contributing to the economy. In terms of their individual salaries, all union leaders have to think about are their own personal champagne socialist lifestyle. Unsurprisingly, the guy is from a union himself. This sort of nonsensical codswallop only appeals to the lowest common denominator. Edited July 16, 2022 by Duries Air Freshener -10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The process was started (as it usually is) by an energy crisis. This was driven by the end of the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. This caused the current high inflation. No-one is saying that wages are responsible for inflation as it is at the moment. Large wage rises happening now have the potential to further fuel inflation thereby causing a spiral. Exactly what happened in the 70's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be shocked if you could find any economist or anyone in government that claimed wage rises are anything to do with the current state of inflation. What they’re all talking about is what wage rises could do to the future state of inflation by making it worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Bank of England. there are more job vacancies than there are people to fill them, which means employers are having to offer higher wages to attract job applicants businesses are charging more for their products All of these things pushed prices (and so the rate of inflation) up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
