'We need to see pain': Multimillionaire says unemployment must rise
Property developer Tim Gurner says employees have become too arrogant, and that unemployment must rise substantially to lift productivity, especially in the construction sector.
Gurner told a business event on Tuesday the pandemic had a "massive effect" on productivity, especially among tradies, and that it was worsening the housing crisis . . .
"We absolutely have to have immigration," he said. "Australia doesn't work without immigration and if we're not growing, we're dead."
( . . . ) "We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around. There's been a systematic change where employees feel the employer is extremely lucky to have them, as opposed to the other way around. It's a dynamic that has to change."
