The social network for trade unionists - a LabourStart project.

Corporate construction giant Grocon headed by Grollo launched an anti-union attack on Australian union CFMEU. The issues include the right to wear a union logo, the right for union members to have union organisers' right of entry, the right of the union to appoint OHS delegates and the right to strike.

The union faces huge fines for this so-called "unlawful" activity, as Australia still retains severe penalties against strikes. The struggle continues this week. Read some of this below
