The Maritime Union of Australia’s national secretary Paddy Crumlin has warned that CFMEU members, employees and officials will be hard hit by the federal government’s move to appoint an administrator to its construction division. He says many full-time officials were sacked when the administrator took control, despite not being accused of any wrongdoing. He adds that these officials are subject to special provisions that prohibit them from taking jobs at any other union. Credlin, who is also the national president of the CFMEU, also says that some employers in the construction industry have refused to sign off on new workplace agreements that were about to be finalised when the administrator was appointed.
