Fair Work Commission chief Murray Furlong has launched Federal Court proceedings that would give an independent administrator sweeping powers to overhaul the CFMEU's construction division.
Under the proposed scheme, the independent administrator would have the power to remove officers, officials and employees from their positions in the union. Earlier this week, Construction Union national secretary Zach Smith made plans to install a union-backed administrator for the CFMEU, Geoffrey Watson SC.
The Fair Work Commission promised today that under their proposal, the scheme would ultimately restore confidence in the administration of the union.
