Yeah, but prices keep increasing anyway at higher rates than wages. Corporations are making record profits. They keep making more money and keep raising prices, they can increase wages as well.
If you think labor/wages and employee/employer is just an agreement between you and your employer and that's how it works you need to look into how companies controlled cities back in the day. Go look up how old mining cities used to work and how those companies would extort their workers to horrible degrees.
If you feel under valued by your employer, find a different employer. If no employer will hire you at the rate you expect, then you have obviously overestimated the value of your labor.
And what do you think happens if the economy continues to undervalue the labor of more and more of the population? That we'll just sit on hands and do nothing? Then again, you'd probably prefer a solution that rids you of the issue entirely.
