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

then they move into the illegal territory, hence why they get fined all the time.

No actually. There is one law and one law only.

In terms of construction, it all relates to the BCA.

In terms of employment, it all relates to agreements endoresd through Fair Work - an organisation the Liberal Party supports.

we don'have a parrot-puppet Premier, one of the luckier states atm.

he said he doesn't want to go ahead with the east/west link and is still waiting on all the documents to expose to Victorians.

he also got rid of the ambulance board on his first day sworn in.......  as promised

They get paid the correct wage anyway, jst under the award, not a separate bagaining agreement on that site.

If they're getting paid just under the award they are not getting the correct wage. 

They must be paid at the award rate or over the award, not under.

the abbott govt would do anything to win an election wouldn't they???...  even lie 

it could've been part of the the money he offered to Vic if the east/west went ahead. All part of their grand scheme for creating jobs as they just wrecked our manufacturing industry

[debra9275]
