News.com.au reports:
The South Australian branch of one of Australia’s most powerful unions has been placed into administration.
It comes after the news the Victorian Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU) was referred to the state’s corruption watchdog following allegations of bullying, intimidation and criminal links.
This is a large union with assets of A$310m and 400 staff.
Allegations include:

The post Union corruption in Australia first appeared on Kiwiblog.
