Title: Ideology runs rampant in IR reforms
Author(s): Legge, John M.
Abstract: The Government's argument that its industrial relations (IR) changes are going to bring about 'higher-productivity, higher-pay workplaces' is at least as big a con job as the T2 share price. The changes will retard rather than accelerate productivity gains.
