An emergency meeting of the national executive of the CFMEU has decided that the Victorian branch will be placed into administration, with the national office to assume all senior executive powers.
The Victorian branch of the CFMEU will be placed into administration, in a decision made by the national executive of the union on Monday morning, with the national office to assume all senior powers.
“The CFMEU has one purpose and one purpose only and that is to defend and advance the safety and conditions of workers. The Victorian branch has been hugely successful in pursuing this purpose, but the national executive also recognises that a number of recent allegations are serious and demand an unprecedented response.”
“Cancel culture will never be our culture,” he said. “Our union operates in a tough industry in which people are badly hurt or killed every week and in which shonky developers and contractors are allowed to run rampant. “The National Office will be uncompromising in cleaning up whatever wrongdoing we find because we know that blue-collar workers depend on our union being strong and effective.
