Thankfully I already get raises based on the cost of living increases as a minimum.

Same here. Thanks to my union, I get an annual cost of living increase based on the CPI, as well as an annual raise based on job performance.

Yep same here, thanks to union raises according to inflation, raises according to years worked, 21 days of paid summer vacation + couple weeks paid free days to take whenever and paid sick days

We're not even unionized, we just have a great boss/company owner.

I get the same from my employer, non-union, though. I feel very fortunate.

Same, but it should be universal. This law also serves as a deterrent to price gouging as well.
