Its all coming true as predicted in the lead up to the Victorian State election -- The CFMEU are at again -- not less than a week after their parrot - puppet is elected as Premier of Victoria ,here they are destroying and strong arming employers who are trying to grow their business
Here we go already. The CFMEU celebrates Labor’s win in Victoria by deciding which businesses may operate:
THE CFMEU shut down an Aldi supermarket construction site, the militant union flexing its muscle just a week after Labor won power in Victoria.
The Herald Sun saw CFMEU representatives block the site at Millers Rd, Altona, refusing access to trucks carrying building materials.
CFMEU representatives allegedly told subcontractors: “There’ll be no work here today."…
The Herald Sun has been told the construction company does not have a union-endorsed enterprise bargaining agreement.
It also understands the CFMEU has taken issue with Aldi’s use of overseas contractors. Building industry sources said the union has had a long-running battle with Aldi over its use of international experts, which are brought in to oversee the German company’s specific method of laying its concrete floors to provide extra strength.
And so the CFMEU takes it on itself to tell other people they may not work.
The supplier said he was “shattered” to see his union hurt his business.
“It’s just frustrating and expensive,” he said.
“I’m paying my blokes to be doing nothing out there. And the builder holds our payment because we’re not performing to contract.”
Is this Victoria under Daniel Andrews? YES more to come

Is it? According to Altona Gate, the new Aldi was open on July 18th, unless, of course, they are building another Aldi in the same street.

The only Aldi store included in their portfolio is the one to be built in Portland.
