Press Releases

The Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) says that migrant workers will be hardest hit by new laws introduced by the Turnbull Government.

The Australian Border Force is hopelessly under resourced to intercept the arrival in Australia of illegal asbestos products and other dangerous non-conforming building products, a Senate inquiry will hear today in Brisbane.

The union can confirm that a number of shots were fired into the offices of the Victorian branch in Carlton.

Our priority is to look after the staff at the office who are shocked and frightened. Thankfully no one was harmed and we can confirm that all staff are safe.

The CFMEU Victorian Branch today announced that it would donate $10,000 to the Les Twentyman Foundation.

Turnbull Continues to Play Politics and Turn a Blind Eye to Corporate Corruption.

Today the Federal Court proceeding brought by the Director of Fair Work Building and Construction (FWBC), Nigel Hadgkiss  against former CFMEU organiser Mick Powell was dismissed. This decision is a victory of common sense over Liberal Party ideology.

The CFMEU and the Building Industry Group (BIG) of unions today announced their intention to implement a Green Ban on any future development at the site of illegally demolished the 159 year old Corkman Irish Pub.

The collapse of Bob Day’s company, Home Australia, shines a light on what is a serious and common problem in the construction industry, according to the CFMEU.

The Fair Work Building Commission is attempting to avoid scrutiny of its methods by cutting funding to the Commonwealth Ombudsman, according to the CFMEU.

Today’s arrest in relation to the fraudulent supply of white cards is just the tip of the iceberg.
