In a recent paper in this Review, Rimmer and Watts (1994) are critical of our attempt to relate trade union activity to the only data on workplace productivity generated by the Australian Workplace Industrial Relations Survey [AWIRS], Crockett, Dawkins and Mulvey (1993). Their criticism is based on the fact that the data on productivity were gathered by asking managers to rank the productivity of their workplace relative to other workplaces in the industry on a five point scale ranging from ‘a lot higher’ through ‘average’ to ‘a lot lower’.
