John Setka will step down as the Secretary of the Victorian Branch of the CFMEU. His decision is in response to the ongoing and relentless stories written with multiple allegations whether true or not about this great union.
“I have proudly served this union in the capacity of an official for close to 40 years and as Secretary for the past 12 years, said John Setka.
“These stories have been constant, and while I’ve been the target of many of them, enough is enough, the ongoing false allegations continually do nothing but harm the work this great union does for its members.
“If my stepping down can stop these malicious attacks on our members and officials and allow this great union to continue to fight for our members, for their wages and conditions, so that they go home safely to their families each day, then I’m happy.
“No individual is greater than the union, this union is and always should be about the members.
“I depart knowing I leave this union in the very capable hands of the National Office and Victorian Executive to continue the work for our members.
“To the members of the CFMEU, you have made me incredibly proud, and it has been an honour and privilege to be your secretary, for that I say thank you.”
