    In Belgium we have mandatory wage increases to combat inflation.

    Companies aren’t allowed to call them raises because that isn’t what they are.

    Last year after Covid, we had an increase of 11-12%. Which was very nice.

      Why not just freeze prices then? I guess because you still have to purchase goods from abroad that wouldn’t freeze prices? Inflation sucks and I hate it.
