Construction Forestry Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU)

Despite claims of corruption and so-called 鈥渋llegality鈥 in the Construction Forestry Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU), Labor's new laws is aimed at nobbling one of Australia's most militant unions that has managed to protect the health and safety of workers in the very dangerous construction industry.

Labor failed to pass its anti-CFMEU bill after the Coalition withdrew its support, arguing it was not strong enough. Sue Bull reports.
