Victorian members of the militant Construction, Forestry, Mining & Energy Union have approved a new enterprise agreement for construction workers. It includes an annual wage rise of five per cent for the next three years and a three per cent pay rise the following year. John Setka, the state secretary of the CFMEU’s building division, said members should lock in the pay deal in case the Coalition wins the federal election and makes another attempt to reinstate the Australian Building & Construction Commission.
