"When you're a politician, you've got to get used to campaigning. It's a two-way street; they have their say, I have my say," he said.Mr Setka denied being a "bully" and said he had "no reason to step down" while he had the support of his branch members.
Union leader John Setka has denied he was trying to"bully" crossbench senators on the government's industrial relations legislation.Mr Setka said he had "never had a problem with women" and was "only human", saying in the end "no one was hurt, no one was injured." "We're talking about a shop stewards' meeting where there's over 300 shop stewards. If we had a swear box there'd probably be $100,000 there - and not just me," he said.
Asked about a Federal Court's description of his union as "the most recidivist corporate offender" in Australia, Mr Setka defended the CFMMEU's record of more than 2000 breaches of the Fair Work Act, saying most were civil breaches such as failing to give the legislated 24 hours notice before entering a building site.Loading
