The Fair Work Commission has applied for an independent administrator to oversee the CFMEU’s embattled general and construction divisions.
The court application has been filed by the Commission, as the two sectors continue to face criminal allegations.
Back in July, the FWC confirmed it would take action, after accusations of criminal misconduct and bikie gang links were made against the union’s construction sector.
The Commission’s General Manager Murray Furlong has now filed to nominate an independent administrator to these two CFMEU divisions, proposing the court appoint Mark Irving to the position.
Mr Irving has been a member of the Victorian Bar for nearly three decades and has experience acting on union and employer matters.
