Of course it should. But that's such a difficult concept for both sides to understand. The incessant need to somehow tie public sector salaries to the private sector is on both sides of the argument. People are upset when they lose income and the public sector doesn't. Then the unions get upset when the private sectors outpace the public sector. How is any of that relevant?
When the public sector has difficulty filling positions with the appropriate employees they should raise compensation. When they have a glut of people trying to get in they should freeze salaries.
