Studies show there are no productivity gains attributable to the ABCC, just as there are no savings in relative costs.”
Professor David Peetz, added in a January 2014 submission on the ABCC that Econtech’s $5.5bn saving claim had “no solid basis” as it had cherry-picked data and erroneously assumed productivity increases were caused by the ABCC.
The Productivity Commission also noted“many individual constructors did not raise [industrial relations] issues as a major source of cost pressures in recent years”.
According to a survey 50% of building supervisors said the ABCC had made no difference to productivity levels, nearly one quarter considered it had improved it somewhat and just over 15% said the effect was significant.
