The Communications, Electrical & Plumbing Union is seeking an exemption from anti-bullying laws. The union argues that it is not a "constitutionally covered business" and, therefore, bullying claims made by one of its official against another are outside the anti-bullying jurisdiction. Val Butler, a member of the union’s national council, accused divisional assistant secretary John O’Donnell of bullying and harassment. The matter will be considered at a special full bench hearing of the Fair Work Commission in October 2016.
