Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining & Energy Union NSW organisers Simon Gutierrez and Nicholas Rekes have pleaded guilty to drug possession and dealing charges in Sydney Local Court. Rekes and Gutierrez were arrested in April, after a police operation that saw $4,000 worth of drugs seized and which also involved the arrest of CFMMEU NSW assistant secretary Michael Greenfield. Greenfield pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine in July, but avoided jail or a conviction. Master Builders Association CEO Denita Wain says the fact that the three still retain significant workplace entry rights despite the charges against them shows why the federal government’s Ensuring Integrity laws are so necessary.
