CFMEU NSW faces fines of more than $2.4m for Barangaroo strikes

The national construction union faces unprecedented fines of more than $2.4 million for unlawful industrial action on Sydney's Barangaroo building site.

CFMEU NSW boss Brian Parker has been issued an individual fine of $45,400 and his colleague Robert Kera, who the court heard had described Australian Building and Construction Commission inspectors as "f---ing dogs", was handed a $41,250 penalty.

Mr Parker and Mr Kera are also among officials referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions for possible criminal prosecution for allegedly giving false evidence. The judgement noted evidence that Mr Parker's failure to recollect was likely to be an unwillingness to be fully frank.

The union was also ordered to pay for prominent advertising in two Sydney major newspapers to make its members and the public aware of their actions and fines.

The union's national office was fined $1.32 million and its NSW branch $956,250. Fines for other individual officials ranged upwards of $3000.

The Federal Court has found the union officials coerced workers into unlawful strikes on July 24 and 25 in 2014 that saw about 1000 construction workers walk off the job at the $6 billion Barangaroo project.

During the height of the dispute, union officials were reported calling Lendlease employees "dogs", "lower than a paedophile grub" and latte-sipping "soft c---s".

Federal Minister for Employment Michaelia Cash said the lawless industrial strikes at one of the largest construction sites in the southern hemisphere involving 1,000 workers had demonstrated the militant union's disregard for the law.

"Recidivist, militant CFMEU officials continue to believe the law does not apply to them," Senator Cash said.

"Enough is enough – Bill Shorten must immediately and unreservedly cut ties with what has become Australia's most notorious union."

In his judgement, Federal Court judge Geoffrey Flick said the CFMEU was a "recidivist" offender and had "long demonstrated by its conduct that it pays but little regard to compliance with the law and indeed has repeatedly sought to place itself above the law".

"It is difficult, if not impossible, to envisage any worse conduct than that pursued by the CFMEU," Justice Flick said.

Here's a Union face for you...

He looks like he's shitting himself

[Rorschach]

that crap from smelle has absolutely nothing to do with the RC.
But good of you to prove what an idiot you are once and for all

I think that you will ..... eventually ... realise that Rorschach understands what he is talking about. You should listen and cease and desist calling all and sundry "idiots" .... IF that is all you have then you, too, are an idiot. Takes one to know one.

goose hasn't got a clue. Putting up links of changes to legislation recommended as a result of the RC is not the same as showing corruption.

The reality is that the RC was a failure. NOT ONE SINGLE CONVICTION resulted from it. Everything else is just the usual anti union crowd pretending it was a success.

Ah unfortunately for everyone else he doesn't get much Nef....

The new laws brought in due to the RC are getting results. He is too dumb to know what people are telling him. And too much of a troll to stop insulting people.

you mean laws designed to get the unions are getting the unions? WOW, you're a genius.

[Rorschach]

Unfortunately for everyone... YOU are not.

You were wrong again.

Unfortunately for everyone... YOU are not.

You were wrong again.

Lucky for me then that one doesn't need to be a genius to prove you wrong.
