Construction, Forestry, Mining & Energy Union officials John Setka and Shaun Reardon will appear in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 8 December 2015. They face potential jail sentences of up to 15 years after Victorian police charged them with blackmail. The charges relate to an industrial dispute with Grocon, which resulted in building materials group Boral being subject to black bans. It will be alleged that Setka threatened to escalate the bans on Boral unless it ceased supplying cement to Grocon.
