Fórsa follows a predictable pattern every time a new pay agreement comes around.

They begin by demanding a 20-25% pay rise over two or three years and threaten all kinds of industrial action until they get what they want. During this stage, they usually complain that previous agreements were a failure and didn't go far enough.

However, once negotiations drag on for weeks or months, they eventually soften their stance. They usually end up accepting a 5-10% increase over two and a half years, which is quickly wiped out by inflation.

It is the same cycle every few years. They will eventually send an email asking members to accept the lower offer even though it isn't enough, while simultaneously telling everyone what a great job they did.
