A secret ballot will soon be held on whether the manufacturing division of the CFMEU stays with the union, or withdraws from it, after members were finally granted a vote on the issue.
A secret ballot will now be held through the Australian Electoral Commission where members can either break away from the CFMEU, or stay amalgamated with the union. The manufacturing division said that it had"sought to put the question of whether to withdraw from the CFMEU to its members for some years but was frustrated by the construction division's opposition".
The Fair Work Amendment Bill 2024, which was based off an amendment put forward by Senator Jacqui Lambie earlier in the year, was passed with support from Labor and the opposition."We thank Senator Lambie, minister Burke and all of the members of parliament who did the right thing by our members."
