Over the past 6 months CFMEU safety advisers have been called to Grocon sites more than 30 times. Grocon management has tried to stop our advisers entering and doing their work.

This is why the CFMEU will never give up our fight to have OHS and union reps elected on Grocon’s sites.

Safety – No Compromise!
