You can do these comparisons until the cows come home.
The current rate of inflation is 2% and wage increases need to stick around that level, a 40% wage demand is fantasy land. To grant it will lead to wage inflation as other sectors pile in. This is totaly unsustainable and economically dangerous.
It is notable that the Retained firefighters union has opted not to strike but to continue with negotiations.
