A meeting of sacked NSW CFMEU delegates on Monday could see them face fines or criminal penalties if they are found to have undermined its administration, with the CFMEU having being forced into administration last week. The meeting called for union members to walk off construction sites and attend rallies on Tuesday, with builder Multiplex expected to be targeted; it has told the Fair Work Commission its agreement with the CFMEU – which is currently waiting to be approved – is a not genuine one because of the union’s alleged coercion. One construction industry source has stated that the CFMEU has "gone rogue", while Master Builders Association CEO Denita Wawn says walkouts to attend the protest were "likely unprotected action".
