Grollo Building and the CFMEU
With the protest action against the Grollo company having slowed down today, it got me thinking.
What are people's thoughts on the situation regarding Grollo and the CFMEU?
Personally, I am disgusted by the actions of the CFMEU, and the inability of the Victorian police to successfully enforce the law.
While I have no doubt that Grollo most likely do have safety issues, I find it disgusting that the CFMEU are simply allowed to circumvent the correct channels (ie: contact worksafe re: safety, and FWA for other issues) and instead take it upon themselves to force their own rules upon a company.
Even worse is the complete disregard for the law when an injuction was granted to put a halt to any industrial action.
It seems to me the CFMEU are happy to pick and choose who obeys what laws (ok, Grollo, you MUST obey all safety laws we decide on, but we're allowed to ignore any court rulings against us)
I personally see the CFMEU as a group of thuggish rogues who simply act how they wish, and take the law into their own hands. If anybody disagrees, they will simply bully, harrass, and intimidate them until they go away.
There we go, I've had my little rant. Now's everybody else's turn.
