Not full of crims but many hard-heads still left in it.

They represent the face of old unionism. No different to the transition police forces went through to modernize.

Poor old Bob must be ROFLing in his grave at these hollow hypocrites.

They are the parasitic thugs from the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy industries ... not a lot of employees from those industries care of course, as the grassroot membership numbers keep falling.

The Union bosses know who's in charge though - and they have already called on Albo to resign - the pathetic house of cards is all but gone.Dead

Pressure on Johnny is building. Soon you will have nothing to get yourself bent out of shape over Doc. Shocked

Maybe you could shift your focus onto how your LNP are going to fix the debt crisis and get in the black by adding $165 billion further to debt.....just kidding Embarrassed

John Setka's deputy quits over 'irreconcilable differences'

Union leader John Setka's assistant secretary, Shaun Reardon, has quit over "irreconcilable differences" with his boss relating to "personal values I will live and die by".

Mr Reardon emailed CFMMEU staff, officials and members on Thursday about his decision, which comes in response to Mr Setka admitting he would plead guilty to criminal offences of harassing a woman and repeatedly breaching court orders. more...

Yeah, I don't think you should try to make a career of being a Labor Party Spin Doctor PT! LOL

I think "Elbow" will be given the elbow before Honest John ever loses his job ... what an inept excuse for an Opposition Leader ... at least he is more popular than Bill ... just not with anyone in his party or their "supporters" ... Embarrassed

I don't think that his former Union mates have moved on PT ... I hope there's nothing in Bill's closet (or any of his mates) relating to any kind of alleged misconduct involving women that has possibly been covered up in the past ... Wink

‘We’ll make sure they’re clean’: Union to audit Labor MPs after Setka crackdown

The Electrical Trades Union is threatening to audit federal and Victorian Labor MPs for any history of domestic violence allegations in retaliation for the ALP and unions moving against Victorian construction union boss John Setka.

ETU Victorian secretary, Troy Gray, a close ally of Mr Setka, said today the union would conduct the audit of Labor MPs “to make sure they’re clean” if they were going to be “judge and jury” about Mr Setka’s conduct.

Mr Setka has said he intends to plead guilty to harassment charges, including the use of a carriage service to harass a woman, when he returns to court in Melbourne next Wednesday.

“If people are going to try and do a political hatchet job on a union official then we will be looking to see if people have skeletons in their closet,’’ Mr Gray told The Australian.

“If people are going to demand a certain benchmark or standard where people should resign then let’s make sure all these Labor MPs meet that standard as well.

“If sending a text message is the standard for resignation then there definitely will be some nervous politicians out there because we will audit them.”

OH DEAR ... and these are the kind of people who not only know exactly where the bodies are buried, but who dug the shallow grave, and who supplied the shovel!Dead

I'm sure they will get to that, but shouldn't they start with the easy targets that they know about?

Besides, what are they going to do with all that lovely money that they will no longer be donating to the ALP scum? ... they are going to need a responsible, reputable political party to donate to ... one that is proven to support ALL the workers - not just the ones earning under $40k p.a. ...Wink

Setka will be gone soon. The average union member these days is a 30 something yo woman who is a teacher or nurse. The last 2 ACTU leaders and the current secretary have been women. The CFMEU will catch up or face extinction.

Poor old "Elbow"! Disapprove

The CFMEU is the richest Union in the country, and now he's copping it from them in 3 States! ... pretty sure Honest John will outlast ole maaaaate "Elbow".Thumbs Down

So who's next for the poison chalice of the ALP Leadership Merry Go Round? ... where's Kevin? ... he hasn't had a decent job for a while, and he's at least as popular and credible as any of their recent leaders!Pig

... sorry if i seem to be revelling in this PT, I'm actually praying for a legitimate Opposition, for the sake of the Nation!Cry
