Construction workers take up the Climate Change challenge
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.

Apprentices
Apprentices are the future of the industry and the CFMEU supports high levels of apprentices on building sites. CFMEU NSW takes great pride in assisting and representing apprentices.
Being new to the workplace, a lot of young workers are not aware of their rights and entitlements. Some employers take advantage of apprentices as cheap labour.
The trade union movement has an important role to educate and organise young workers on their rights and responsibilities at the workplace.
Simple as ABCC
CFMEU NSW EBA
The CFMEU along with other building unions campaign for Union Enterprise Bargaining Agreements (EBAs) on all sites. Our EBAs provide for wages well in excess of minimum award rates plus extra allowances, superannuation, redundancy and insurance.
We encourage all workers on all sites to demand that all bosses sign Union EBAs. If we allow bosses on sites without Union EBAs cheap labour will spread and undermine all of our standards.
