CFMEU union officials with a history of flouting the law continue to be employed by construction unions despite the Federal Government placing the union into Administration in a bid to clean it up.

Matthew Pollock, Executive Director of Master Builders NSW said that the decision of the CFMEU NSW Branch to employ Dean Reilly a disgraced former official from the Qld Branch of the union had heightened the concerns of construction contractors as it was the latest instance in a disturbing trend.
