Can you explain why this is an actionable issue when Industry Super exists in part of ensure the ongoing viability of the union movement (my understanding is the union movement essentially controls the board of every industry super fund)?

They do, but there is new legislation which places very stringent rules around conflicts of interest and fit and proper persons (not just targeting unions, but all super funds). This seems a pretty clear cut conflict of interest here (from the Super funds perspective, where a Director must act in the best interest of members).

This came in recently in the UK and the head of one of their big funds was sent packing because he knowingly mis-used his Oyster card!

Let these knuckle draggers walk off the job. Just postpone jobs until they come back tail between legs. You can hold off projects longer than they can hold off the bank coming for mortgage payments

Every 2nd week these pricks walk off jobs about something

This won't be the last protest. Hey I'd protest if someone was going to take away my six figure lift operator gig too!

My office faces onto Russell Steet a few blocks from Trades Hall, the previous protest you could hear them coming blocks away and it took a good 20 minutes for everyone to file past.

Today, couldn't hear a peep, no one even noticed they were there.

Given its unprotected action, expect the crowds to continue to dwindle.

The CFMEU administrator will continue to engage corruption buster Geoffrey Watson, SC, in his investigation of organised crime’s relationship with the union and initiate an even broader inquiry into whether labour hire should be the model for how the industry hires most construction workers.

Everyone working as labour hire is very much attacking conditions

What about sham contracting
The finishing trades have been sold down the drain by the CFMEU
Tilers painters plasterers Carpet layers and cabinet makers, being forced to work on an ABN
They don't get holiday pay super long service leave,it's a degrace, nothing being done about it,I bet the new administrator does nothing about it and CFMEU offials will still take bribes of sub contracting companies.

That's true, I mentioned that before. That also means it's not as expensive to build as suggested. There is still a flow on affect for the ABNers though. This EBA gets dismantled and so to does their ABN rate.
 
I wonder if theres any connection between the CFMEU going into administration and the management at my work place becoming slave driving Nazis almost the day after🤷
Just a coincidence I'm sure.
