Comment on A bill to kill a union: What is actually in the government’s CFMEU legislation

So I used to be a tradie. Been to lots of construction sites

Unpopular opinion, but a lot of the CFMEU are bullies.

I know people who stuck CFMEU stickers on their helmets simply to stop getting bullied by them. A CFMEU guy told me off once for sitting on the ground COMPLETELY out of the way of everyone eating lunch (he was clearly letting me know who was in charge)…

There were stories onsite of bikies running “lotteries” and such too.

Also, if you weren’t part of the union, you had trouble getting onto union sites…

I’m for Unions (and very left leaning)… But, my experience with the CFMEU showed they were nothing except abusive unless you kissed their arse
