The Fair Work Building & Construction inspectorate wants the Federal Court to impose financial penalties against the Construction, Forestry, Mining & Energy Union and 21 of its officials. The case centres on industrial action at two construction sites in Queensland in 2013, which was aimed at compelling contractors to sign an enterprise agreement. The inspectorate has identified 822 separate alleged breaches of the law by the union and its officials.
