The Australian Building Construction Commission is starting to crack!

<!--StartFragment-->

The DPP have dropped charges against union official Noel Washington, leaving the ABCC gob smacked.

Noel as many of you know by now was being charged for refusing to attend an interview in regards to an incident that occurred off site at a union meeting.

 Noel was due to appear before the court today on the 2^nd of December.

CFMEU Secretary David Noonan said the first flaws of the Australian Building Construction Commission are appearing but the campaign against these laws would not stop until they were completely abolished.

 “For months now we have spoken out how the laws are unfair. The decision by the DPP today to drop the laws shows that they are fundamentally unworkable.

 “This decision is a clear message to the Government that the laws are in disarray and need to be abolished,” said Dave Noonan.

 “The fact that over 100 workers have already been dragged before the ABCC and threatened with imprisonment should not be forgotten.  These laws were created by a Government determined to destroy building workers rights, and it is time that they were removed.

 “Construction workers should have the same rights as other Australians, and this decision today is a terrible slap in the face to an unaccountable organisation that is a hangover from the Howard era.”

The 2^nd of December is also the date which our members and other anti-ABCC activists joined our rally this morning at 9:30am. The Rally was held at Queens park, we would like to thank all the members and construction workers who attended, with your help and support we can finally get rid of this anti union task force.

Stay Collective Stay Strong.
