Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• The Transport and General Workers' Union is recommending pay increases of 6.1% for the hire and reward sector — well ahead of the current inflation rate of about 3.7%.

John Moore, the TGWU's national secretary of road transport, says the claim takes into account a shortfall in wage increases from last year's pay rounds, combined with some pay freezes. But Rod Jenkins, manager of employment affairs at the RHA, warns that such an increase would cause job cuts because transport bosses would be unable to meet the demands.
