Answer

Is Palma likely to introduce higher permanent pay or just one-off bonuses?

The debate in Palma is really about whether to make lasting pay changes or rely on temporary bonuses. One-off payments can ease tensions quickly, but they do not solve structural inequality between roles. Permanent adjustments cost more over time, but they are usually more stable and fairer.
