Well, you don't, but others do. Others, in positions that deal with how much to pay, worry about retention.
Yeah, that's nonsense. In Ontario, for example, municipalities have been begging the province to do away with a mediation formula that has every municipal police and fire union going to mediation for contracts because the costs are driving them into bankruptcy. They want to pay a lot less but the mediator bases his assessment on whether some other department has a higher salary, then gives that. Which is why the police force in small towns earn the same salary as the cops in Toronto. Meanwhile in the UK, US and other jurisdictions, they seem able to recruit and retain cops with 2/3rds the salary of ours - somehow.
