Charged with helping the administrator restore order to the union’s Victorian branch, Grahame McCulloch has instead resigned.
The long-time academics’ union boss appointed to help clean up the Victorian CFMEU branch has suddenly resigned just weeks after his appointment.
On Friday morning a spokeswoman for the administrator confirmed McCulloch’s departure but declined to answer further questions about the reasons for his resignation.McCulloch was a Communist Party member in the 1980s, which could enhance his credibility with militant CFMEU members, but he has held senior Labor and superannuation roles in the years since leaving the university union in 2018.
Ex-CFMEU bosses John Setka, Darren Greenfield and Michael Ravbar are organising fighting funds and alliances with sympathetic unions, led by the Electrical Trades Union, to create a rearguard movement aimed at destabilising Irving’s administration.On Thursday, several large unions resolved to organise a second day of protests next week.
