The Construction, Forestry, Mining & Energy Union has been fined for failing to comply with the Fair Work Act in its dealings with Hindmarsh Construction Australia. The company was the head contractor on a $105m apartment project in Brisbane, and the court upheld claims that the CFMEU had used a threat of industrial action to force Hindmarsh to accede to its demands. The CFMEU and its former national president Dave Hanna have been fined $A37,500.
