Not really surprising.

Of course the private sector will scream blue bloody murder if public sector employees are getting better terms.

Local govt isn't really able to kind of lead the way on social employment reforms like this.

I don't hold any love for the Chamber of Commerce anywhere but it is kinda their job to push back on this.
