John Setka plans to use the militant union’s hundreds of delegates and members to boost its influence on internal ALP politics in Victorian and federal parliaments.
Already a subscriber?John Setka is planning to use the militant construction union’s hundreds of delegates and members to boost the CFMEU’s influence on internal Labor politics in the Victorian and federal parliaments.
Union sources said Mr Setka instructed the delegates they needed to pay to join the party and get “four or five” union members on sites to join too. The union will also be under new leadership because Mr Setka, who prime minister Anthony Albanese moved to kick out of the Labor Party in 2019, has announced his resignation after union elections in August.Union sources said Mr Setka framed the move at the meeting, hosted by the state nurses and midwives union, as a way for the CFMEU toand fight bosses through legislation rather than in disputes on building sites.
