It's the public sector / unionised workers demanding the biggest pay rises! They are generally already well paid; yet they use the threat of blackmail as a 'bargaining' tool. They take advantage of their natural monopoly, and abuse that position... They are primarily responsible for such inflation...
Most private sector workers don't get to enjoy this advantage... and a modest, yet well earned pay rise is most welcome.
They can get better wages if they work harder, are more employable, gain more knowledge and experience, etc.. No need to bully. Private sector workers are more employable.
