The start of the cycle?

Inflation starts to rise, so unions seek 5% pay rise (which they generally got). Inflation continues to rise even further to 3.3%, so to keep pace unions seek even bigger pay rises – 7% this time from EPMU. If they get it, then inflation rises further and next year even more inflation and even bigger pay claims.

I think Dr Bollard should be worried.
