Price increase due to market conditions

No, just under 6%, but I already mentioned 5-8% before, and from 8% to 10% isn’t far. Anyway. Nothing can be done about it. It won’t get better in the short term. Unfortunately

By "ultimately arriving at the bricklayer" I mean what he effectively earns more/wage increase.

And he also doesn't have 5-8 percent more in wages than the year before. The "extra" all goes to the company...

No more, there was a big wage increase last May in the construction sector.

The "more" all goes to the company...

Even if: Margin secures equity ratio, equity ratio secures jobs and the continuity of the company - and the latter is ultimately relevant for warranties and thus in the interest of the customer.

I do not want to doubt that, however, I generally believe it lies with humanity today. Everyone complains or grumbles about even the smallest little thing. Crazy world!

Just tell the GU okay, I'll accept a 3% surcharge and sign. Bet that the TE won't make this proposal. That's just how it is. Stinginess is a cool mentality. But at some point, you just have to make a decision.
