Federal Labor has cut ties with the construction arm of the CFMEU – aka the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union – in Victoria, NSW, South Australia and Tasmania. It’s also stopped accepting donations from the union. It comes a day after the Albanese Government announced administrators would take over the union, and is the latest in a string of consequences for the embattled body after allegations of corruption in its top ranks were made public… Yesterday, ALP National Secretary Paul Erickson said the suspension will be in place “until further notice”. He said “the number one job of any union and its officials is to look after its members… The reported behaviour is the complete opposite”.
