A Statement from CFMEU Victoria

CFMEU Victorian Branch < 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.
