Building Workers get your Ticket if in Perth
Thats your union Ticket its a passport to wealth and a job or else
have no job , having seen the guys who run the union here I would think twice about not joining most are Bikie members who rule by fear.
WA'S $6.5 billion building industry is wracked by union intimidation and blatant disregard for the law, the Cole royal commission has found.
Twelve volumes of the 23-volume report were tabled in Federal Parliament yesterday.
Of 392 unlawful incidents identified, 230 were in WA, including threats of violence, illegal payments and collusion between unions and builders.
Eighty-seven per cent of findings were against union officials and workers, a disparity that unions and the Federal Opposition said betrayed the inquiry as a politically motivated witch-hunt.
Evidence of possible crimes involving 31 individuals - 12 of them West Australians - has been kept in a confidential volume that will be forwarded to State and Federal prosecutors.
The public volumes identified misconduct by WA building companies and dozens of incidents involving the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union and its high-profile WA leaders Kevin Reynolds and Joe McDonald.
Commissioner Terence Cole found that threatening and intimidatory conduct by the CFMEU was a hallmark of the WA industry, which was "marred by unlawful and inappropriate conduct (where) fear, intimidation and coercion are commonplace".
Some companies conspired with unions to ensure that non-union workers were not employed and made so-called peace payments to unions engaged in illegal strikes
