Under the Howard system employers can (and it has been proven that they have) reduced wage costs with no connection to productivity.
In fact we have gone from having a productivity growth of 39.5% above OECD average last decade (predominately under Keating) to having a rate that is now 16.4% below the OECD average this decade under Howard. - OECD Economic Outlook Dec 2006
Employers are no longer encouraged to improve productivity when they can simply cuts wage costs as an easier way of increasing profits.

watso is happy to be corrected (but that will not change his vote). watso has noticed that any study that finds that work choices is not "gung ho" gets rediculed by the libs, on the basis that it is biased, written by union hacks etc etc
and it seems that the nurses who will be employed at the mersey hospital , will be on some temproary agreement (time to get the election out of the way) - and not be placed immediately on awa's. no doubt the libs are frightened of putting the nurses on awa's - mmm - but watso thought that they were suppossed to be so fair
