CFMEU delegates intimidate contractors on Brisbane rail project, inquiry hears

A Queensland inquiry heard Thursday that CFMEU union delegates intimidated contractors on Brisbane's Cross River Rail project, with one throwing a microwave and others allegedly threatening workers with weapons. Managers testified the union weaponized safety complaints about minor issues like plastic chairs to disrupt non-union subcontractors. The contractor received 56 safety notices in one month, far exceeding typical Australian worksites.
