Premier Roger Cook confirms WA Labor will maintain links with CFMEU despite alleged criminal links
WA Labor will maintain links with the beleaguered CFMEU, despite weeks of reporting into allegations of criminal links with the construction union.
However, the Government will introduce legislative reforms to allow the Industrial Relations Commission to institute a fit and proper person test for right of entry to workplaces under the State system.
The move follows decisions by the Party’s national executive on the east coast last week to cut ties with the union following media reports alleging links to outlaw motorcycle gangs.
