In most industries, it is pretty usual for a company to raise employee salaries yearly to keep up with cost of living. I don't see why the public sector should be any different.

At the moment I dont think its a matter of sector or industries, Cost of Living is way, way out of whack at the moment.
I dont think its terribly unreasonable to maybe determine a smoothed out average as opposed to reacting to a currently very unstable atmosphere and just firing out 10% raises to everyone.
It seems more prudent to operate on historical averages in terms of cost of living than just going with the madness right now and working off of that though.
