Howells report: tough penalties needed for bosses illegally employing overseas workers

Submitted by cfmeupublish on Fri, 07/22/2011 - 13:44

The CFMEU has called on the Federal Government to adopt the recommendations of its own Howells Report and toughen laws to deter and penalise employers who illegally employ overseas workers and undermine the job security of Australian workers.

 CFMEU National Secretary Construction Dave Noonan said reports the Government would accept in principle all the recommendations of the Report showed it was committed to cracking down on the employers of people working illegally in Australia.

 He said it was crucial that the Government move swiftly to introduce the legislation to implement all the Howells report’s recommendations early in 2012.

Sham contracting revealed: Father of three owed $70,000!

Submitted by cfmeupublish on Mon, 09/05/2011 - 17:06

A Campbelltown bricklayer has launched a one-man picket in his bid to secure $70,000 in unpaid superannuation from his boss.

William Hodge began working for DMW Bricklaying in 2000 and has not received any superannuation benefits in 11 years.

“I just want the money I was supposed to be getting,” says the father-of-three and sole breadwinner in the family."

“I know I don’t actually get it until I am 65, but it will be there when I need it, and if anything happens and I die it is there for my kids.”

Construction workers take up the Climate Change challenge

Submitted by admin on Tue, 05/17/2011 - 11:00

The debate on Australia pricing carbon pollution rages – in Parliament and in the media.

Unions have a responsibility to get involved to protect our members’ best interests. The CFMEU respects blue collar workers concerns about their jobs and the rising costs of living. That’s why the union’s bottom line is: that jobs must be protected and low and middle income earners must be permanently compensated in any pollution pricing plan.
