A Statement From CFMEU NSW

CFMEU NSW < 1 mins read

The CFMEU is shocked and appalled to learn through the media, rather than direct communications from the Federal Government or the Administrator, that 270 officials have been terminated.

These officials are hard working, committed trade union leaders, whose only motivation was to further the conditions of thousands of CFMEU members. They are proud of having achieved this. 

The State and Federal Government’s actions have done nothing more than attack the rights and conditions of thousands of CFMEU members and their families.  

This entire farce was born through a baseless media and government stitch up. The lack of due process and basic democratic rights from this Government is disgusting and simply un-Australian.

Dicing with death: survey reveals 40 per cent of young workers get no safety training

A new survey of young workers reveals almost four in ten respondents (39.8%) received no safety training when they started a new job while more than half (50.2%) never had their work health and safety (WHS) rights explained to them. Unions NSW, which conducted the survey, said it revealed a dangerously lax attitude to safety among employers. “Parents, employers, and policymakers should be concerned. But most importantly, young workers need to hear this message: if your boss is not giving you safety training or explaining your rights, they are dicing with death,” said Unions NSW Campaigns Officer, Caitlin Marlor. “We…
