Workers’ safety was likely put at risk when Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union members entered the Transport and Main Roads building in Brisbane on Tuesday morning, Palaszczuk said.
“The group was monitored by officers for several hours but following negotiation a peaceful departure from the group occurred just before 12pm. No further complaints have been made,” a spokesperson said in a statement.More than 200 CFMEU members rallied in the department’s conference room, preventing the event proceeding, a Transport and Main Roads spokesperson said.“During this period, TMR staff were subjected to very upsetting and unacceptable behaviour,” they said in a statement.
“A bunch of fluoro shirts attended the meeting and unfortunately some people panicked about that,” he said on Thursday afternoon.“We attended a meeting, the meeting got cancelled and we left.”
