Answer:

6.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

As per my knowledge, real wages and the inflation rate goes hand to hand, so if the inflation rate is expected to increase to 6.1% in the coming year, then I thing the labor union would also want the real wages to go up by 6.1% for the labor union members to offset the difference between the two and meet the demands for the members.

Thank you and Good luck.
