CFMEU secretary slams ‘completely fabricated’ claims by the AWU on Victoria’s Big Build

State Secretary of the CFMEU John Setka has slammed the “completely fabricated” claims by the Australia Workers’ Union (AWU) on Victoria’s Big Build.

The AWU has alleged claims of corruption, harassment and dodgy deals on the Big Build and even bullying claims directed towards the CFMEU.

“I’m sick and tired of construction workers and unions being blamed for the cost of everything going up,” Setka told Tom Elliott.

Lead Construction Organiser of the Australian Workers Union, Joel Archer, then commented on the claims made by the union on 3AW Drive.

“I want to steer away from the idea of a CFMEU/AWU issue,” Mr Archer told Jacqui Felgate.
