#WestgateBridge
Weekly update from the CFMEU Construction & General (VIC/TAS). Westgate Bridge Memorial report and some very sorry news, both reminders that safety & mental health come first. Union and industry updates, and another poetry reading from the late Georgie Despard's originals, still as relevant today. Scallywags and Sooky Lalas.

This Wednesday the 15th October marks the 55th Anniversary of Australia's worst industrial disaster, the collapse of the Westgate Bridge - the bridge designed to run out of Melbourne to Geelong.35 Workers died in the collapse, and 18 were seriously injured as a result of the 1970 incident, but the design of the bridge was already in doubt beforehand, with a similar bridge having recently come down with worker deaths in the UK.Without the modern emergency service response, the workers were left to dig their comrades bodies out of the rubble. Three days later, they were all sacked.
If you don’t fight you lose
It has been one year since the CFMEU was put under administration by the Labor government. Since then, there have been a federal election, a failed high court challenge, and a handful of days of unprotected strike action. EBAs have continued to be negotiated despite hurdles from the FWC and bosses).

This blue between Administration and the rank-and-file will be the definitive dispute for this generation of CFMEU members. How the battle is fought will shape the identity of the CFMEU as much as the ultimate outcome.
