Argh....I hate all these 'must go up because of inflation' arguments, particular for services. Labour (wages) haven't gone up anything like inflation. Its just a way to cushion the increases.

When I'm discussing salary raises, I make a point of emphasising that anything less than inflation is a pay cut. I refuse to mince words. If inflation is over 7% and you're offering me a 3% pay raise, you are giving me a 4% pay cut. And I will make sure to be very clear about that in all my communications with my employer and my coworkers.
