A week after Labor wins Victoria, the CFMEU shuts down a project

[nero_bolt]

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

yes they've sold us out Icy, you mean.

It's been going on for  a long time. It was Keating that started privatising Australian institutions, starting with the banks. Hawke that stopped protecting our industries.

Successive governments have simply continued in that vein. Now all that's left that the current government can sell off is our natural resources.

Sell everything, never mind the people who live there. We can import everything from overseas, including people.

They can do that because the Aus public just keep voting them in. LNP or ALP makes no difference. It's the global players that run this country and it's politicians. They'd never tolerate any political party that tried to stop them.

its good to at least one other person has worked it out.

Shame the sheeple believe the BS they are fed while being deflected from the real issues

TALES FROM THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF VICTORIA --

Its now just over a week since the ALP - CFMEU puppet Daniel Andrews government was elected in Victoria and look at whats happening.

You have a builder that is lawfully conducting its contract with its client ,in this case Aldi Supermarkets, but cant because the CFMEU say the builder doesn't have a CFMEU endorsed EBA agreement.

The CFMEU say this site is now closed using stand over tactics to ensure no materials can be delivered.

Just about every construction company in Victoria have just increased their prices by 50% to cover what they call the CFMEU factor --- forget the construction industry in Victoria -- its buggered totally.

CFMEU shuts down Altona Aldi site again over dispute with builder Magellan Projects

THE CFMEU has told builders it plans to shut down an Aldi construction site for “the foreseeable future” after stopping work on the supermarket for a second day.

The Herald Sun again saw CFMEU representatives block off the site at Millers Rd, Altona on Monday, after Geelong-based builder Magellan Projects was forced to abandon work on Friday.

CFMEU representatives again refused access to trucks carrying building materials, parking a car across the fenced-off site’s entrance to prevent them getting inside.

The Herald Sun understands suppliers contracted to the builder were today told by the militant union: “There’ll be (no work) happening there in the foreseeable future.”

A builder at the site allegedly responded that Magellan would have to look at “shutting the site down for the week”.
