Courts uphold government attack on militant union

Written by: (Contributed by a CFMEU member in South Australia) on 20 June 2025

Well, the government’s courts have made their call, fully backing Albo’s plan to take away the power of a militant union, the CFMEU.

This affects all states, including the SA branch.

This gives the puppets, the Administration, the go-ahead to further crush the strength of this militant union which includes the possible further sackings of organisers and staff that stand up for the workers, both members and non-members.

The bosses and their government learnt the mistakes in crushing the militant BLF.  

This round has a lot more thought and laws.

The developers and building bosses are rubbing their hands. Already, they will be rewriting their future Enterprise Agreements.  SA workers will be included in this, not just those interstate. 

It’s here now.  The Administration direction of non-attendance by the CFMEU at the May Day celebrations, the state governments joining in with cancelling the CFMEU’s position on industry boards.

Look at the tower cranes around the State.  Where are the Eureka/union flags?  Why are they not on the new and in particular, bigger, jobs (a visual weakening of the union).  We have flown them here in this State since the deregulation of the BLF.

The conditions and benefits in all areas of this industry – safety, financial, working conditions affecting members and their families – are there because of our unions. Over 80% of these mentioned areas are there from our unions being STRONG AND MILTANT AND UNDERSTANDING THE INDUSTRY.

Not because of laws, deals and government/employer rules.

The Administration must go.

Construction workers must control and run their union.  The members must select and vote who their leaders are.

The strongest tool you have in this fight is the worker working alongside of you and your union.

SOLIDARITY IS STRENGTH
DARE TO STRUGGLE
DARE TO WIN
