It’s not Anthony Albanese or Sally McManus who have brought the union to this crisis, it’s the previous leadership and their self-interest.
The building union workers who rallied in capital cities around the nation on Tuesday are right to be angry, but their anger at the Labor Party, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the ACTU is misdirected.
If Setka had focused on running a clean union rather than a branch infested with self-interested cliques , it wouldn’t have changed the union’s militancy and ability to demand pay rises.
