I mean, from my own experience, my wage has increased 32% in 5-6 years, including those 1.5% merit raises, cost of living raises, and raises through our bonus system, which is above the overall inflation rate for that period. I'm aware my employer is pretty good in that regard, and we do have a union.

Unions work! I've never worked somewhere where a union was a disadvantage.

I got a 10% raise this month and still earn like shit.

Where? Let's get more people employed with your employer, and fewer from the competition.

Yeah, I'm in a similar position. I've been at my job for 3ish years now and I'm making like 30% more than I did when I started (and that was an 80% bump from my previous gig). My upper management may be dumber than dirt, but they pay well enough for me to ignore the bullshit (and 100% remote, so that makes it easier to deal with the bullshit too)

Every employer who says "sorry, market conditions" is really saying "change market conditions by unionizing".
