| Construction workers campaign for equal rights Construction workers in Australia have a different set of laws
and rights than other Australians. They can be called before secret
hearings of the government's enforcement agency the Australian Building
and Construction Commissioner (the ABCC) and questioned about union
meetings. They must answer all questions. If they do not attend
or answer all questions they face harsh penalties, including six
months imprisonment. They can be denied representation by the lawyer
of their choice. Virtually all industrial action is illegal and
can be punished by fines against individual workers and their union
representatives. The five construction unions - the Australian Workers Union (AWU), the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union (AMWU), the CFMEU, the Electrical Trades Union (ETU), the Plumbing Trades Employees Union (PTEU), the State Trades Halls and the ACTU are all supporting the campaign.
