鈥淢aster Builders calls on the Federal Parliament to follow the bipartisan leadership of its NSW counterparts.
鈥淭he appointment of an administrator is a necessary first step to bring about changes to the union.
鈥淭he industry is intimately familiar with the ingrained culture of lawlessness and thuggery that has plagued the sector for decades.
鈥淲e cannot rest on our laurels. The NSW Government must now take meaningful steps to stamp out this culture once and for all.
鈥淭his includes reviewing procurement policies and the current CFMEU pattern Enterprise Bargaining Agreement to ensure they have been genuinely agreed to.
鈥淢aster Builders will continue to encourage contractors ,鈥 Mr Seidler concluded.
