The workplace watchdog has filed no new cases against the construction union for 18 months and has dropped many of those it inherited after Labor’s election.
The workplace watchdog has not filed a single new case against the CFMEU for 18 months and has dropped 30 per cent of the cases alleging construction union law-breaking it inherited after Labor’s election, even as builders raise concerns that CFMEU disruption is pushing up project costs.
“The FWO has a role to demonstrate its position as a tough regulator, which many of Judge Vasta’s hearing statements cast doubt over, particularly when physical threat and intimidation of workers allegations are dropped with little detail,” he said. “We will be seeking a full explanation of their conduct in this case during upcoming Senate estimates hearings.”
