Labor's Productivity diarrhea
Jun 15^th, 2012 at 9:51am

On 24th April 2007 - the then leader Kevin Rudd TALKED
about his 10 point productivity plan launched as New Directions for Innovation, Competitiveness and Productivity

20th April 2008 at the 20/20 TALK
Summit the then Industrial Relation Minister (one J Gillard) Chaired which Working Group?

You guessed it - the Productivity Working Group

14th June 2012 - the now Prime Minister (J Gillard) TALKED
behind closed doors with businesses about? You guessed it - productivity.

what exactly is your point? Productivity has been on the decline since Howards early years ... declining rapidly after workchoices ... the alp has at least managed to slow that rate of decline to levels that the libs could never reach .... they will keep working on productivity for the next 20 yrs ... you have a problem with this why exactly?

The funny thing is that workchoices, Howards big boost to the employers, actually saw the rate of decline in productivity jump ..... bosses were screwing workers so the workers screwed them back ....

The word productivity should be taken out of the vernacular, it is only ever about making workers work harder, work longer, work for less money, work for less entitlements, work for less legal protections and work for less security so the wealth can be taken and redistributed to corporate welfare and the Mafia.

The whole idea with productivity is to:

(1) Reduce unemployment - which the LIBs did during the Howard years and the ALP inherited in 2007

(2) Increase the output of the current workforce.

It is the second point that I want start the discussion

Increasing output essentially means to increase the GDP - which the LIBs double during the Howard years

The workforce is where Labor loves to launch it's attack and use the old "Workchoices" war cry.

The scenario that CW has outlined would happen if unemployment was high. But unemployment is low and we have a mining sector that cries out for more labour supplies.

The miners are paying workers an obscene amount of money work. Train drivers are earning double in WA than they would in any other states. They can do this because each unit of production has a high productivity worth

So how do we equalise this?

Do we equalise this by paying everyone else who's not in the mining industry higher wages? Does that mean we will increase productivity? What will that do to costs and inflation?

Do we add another layer of costs to the miners and large companies (carbon tax and the Minerals resources tax) so they have less money to pay their workers? If they can't attract the workers then their productivity goes down. So how does that help the economy?

I gave you a link that shows the stats , you've ignored it because it shows that you were wrong ... I've still no idea what your aticle that you copy pasted was trying to prove ? other than to relieve your bordom ... and now your trying to twist it into something it isn't .. if you wanted to talk about equalising productivity acvross the economy, why didn't you start the thread on that instead of the crap you put up ...

run forrest run ....
