This seems to be more about the election (and 'The Revolution') than a genuine negotiation for a pay increase.
While pay increases over the last 8 year might be modest, the cost of living is in the same place as then.
Train drivers wanted to be treated the same as airline pilots, tram drivers want to be treated the same as train drivers and there is a suggestion that bus drivers will lodge a pay claim to match tram drivers.
