Hollow Shells: The Alleged Link Between Individual Contracting and Productivity Growth download_trans.gif Download

Description:
Many of the claims about the benefits of individual contracts ride on the proposition that individual contracts deliver higher productivity (BCA 2005:12; ACCI 2004:1; Langoulant 2004; Andrews 2004b; OEA 2004a; Gollan & Hamberger 2003; Howard & Andrews 2005:3).  When productivity is higher, the corporation can afford to pay more and is more than willing to do so.  Individual contracts, therefore, are a ‘win win’ for both corporation and employee.  It is on this basis that public policy changes since 1996 have sought to discourage union-related collective bargaining and promote individual contracting.
