if the productivity increases are a result of serious capital investments on the employer side, why should the employee get a cut? He didn't buy the computer he works on, that replaced his pile of paper, bunch of pens, calculators and/or abacus. If you produce $100 of output by pushing a button one day, and then you produce $200 of output the next day because the button you use is newer, your contribution didn't change and doesn't deserve the pay raise.
Also remember, markets are global now and competition is a thing.
