*** MEDIA ALERT ***

 

CFMEU National Secretary Zach Smith is available for interviews via phone or Zoom about South Australia’s construction industry, wages and conditions, and Iconlink.

 

Quotes attributable to CFMEU National Secretary Zach Smith:

 

“Corporate interests are very happy for South Australian construction workers to have worse pay, worse conditions, and worse safety than other Australians. 

 

“The CFMEU is disrupting that and they’re screaming blue murder about it. 

 

“The Liberals think they can whip up the usual tired scare campaign about big bad unions and that will always resonate with certain sections of the media. 

 

“But anyone neutral who actually looks calmly at the facts would see pretty quickly that the CFMEU’s activity is very good for workers and good for the state of South Australia.”
