While I think that is the case in some sectors, I get the impression it's not the case in a lot of union represented roles overall. For instance, the RMT were moaning about an offer being 0.2% behind the latest RPI figure (but a figure that was at RPI at the time the offer was made) and they claimed it was a 'race to the bottom' but what they didn't say is two years previously an almost 5% pay rise was given when inflation was less than half that!
