You guys need to unionize and fight for raises that exceed the inflation rate.
Here in Brazil, we have this in almost every type of labor.
Five years ago, the right-wing began dismantling the unions’ monetization system in an attempt to break them, and they also raised the retirement age. However, the unions are still doing their job, and every year we receive a raise above inflation.
The current left-wing government has already said that they are working to recover a monetization system for unions. They are studying a way to implement this in a manner that will make it difficult for a future government to repeal.
Some industries like programming are not quite as simple to get unionization going. Pretty much only public sector jobs have unions when it comes to programming. I wish that weren’t the case. On the flip side though, the abundance of programming jobs (when there isn’t a damn near tech recession) makes switching jobs to get a huge raise pretty clearly the way to go.

Oh my God, your politicians actually have studies done and think things through? That’s…different to me.
I’m American, BTW.
USAians are overall too dumb to figure all this out
