These articles addressed whether workers are entitled to a pay rise or not. This is due to the rising of economical daily standards of living. Employers argued that if wages were to be increased that there would be an oppurtunity cost of jobs but employees are worried that if wages are not increased they will no longer be able to afford their living cost.
