The Bandidos sergeant-at-arms sat on the governing board of the John Setka-led union branch, working as an organiser on major Victorian government projects.
The CFMEU assigned a senior Bandidos bikie enforcer to work as a union organiser on major Victorian government construction projects and to sit on the governing board of the John Setka-led union branch, a role he was allowed to keep even after he was charged over a violent assault.
“The Health Services Union is deeply concerned by the reports and allegations made against by the Fair Work Commission and reported in the media,” Williams said in a statement on Wednesday. A CFMEU member magazine profile of Albert when he started as an organiser noted that “getting out his Harley is important for Marty”.
The alleged assault by the trio left one man with a partially paralysed face while a second man was left with numerous injuries including a bite mark to his cheek. Meanwhile, Nationals Senate leader Bridget McKenzie and federal opposition industrial relations spokeswoman Michaelia Cash will on Monday give notice to refer misconduct claims in the building industry to the rural and regional affairs and transport references committee.
