Really, 2.5% is pretty generous in this employment climate.

The title of this thread states that this is going to be a PERMANENT SALARY CAP. In other words -- even if the economy roars back with a vengeance and inflation goes above 2.5%, these workers are NOT going to benefit from it. They still get a measly 2.5% raise.

If I understand you correctly- it is also a CAP- not a guarantee. IOW- they could .4% in a tough year—or even 0% increase.
