AAF probe: 90-99% of big union cash goes to Democrats. Dues funded casinos, racetracks & theme parks while bosses make 12x member pay. Labor elites exploit workers for radical leftism. #UnionCorruption #BigLabor
Nurses deserve real support—not unions pushing politics. Alberta sees what’s happening. Stand with the workers, not the agendas.

Union leadership across Canada — especially in Alberta — has become completely unprofessional.
Accountability is overdue. Resignations need to start.

Australia’s largest wind farm is one of two major Albanese government-backed and taxpayer-funded projects infiltrated by criminal-linked companies as part of a ploy by Australian Workers’ Union figures to outmuscle thugs and bikies aligned with the rival CFMEU.
A major investigation by this masthead can reveal that firms with convict connections gained AWU backing to win lucrative work on the $4 billion Golden Plains Wind Farm project in Victoria as well as the $300 million Centenary Bridge Upgrade project in Brisbane and are seeking access to other major projects around Australia.
The union’s involvement has been driven by a small number of influential AWU delegates who, in an effort to garner industrial power and combat the assertive CFMEU, built their own alliances with unsavoury building industry figures.
There is no evidence that the AWU’s members knew their union was backing labour hire firms with criminal links, despite their union signing off on enterprise bargaining agreements with the companies.
But AWU Victorian branch executive committee member Johnny Keys recruited at least one former criminal as his deputy and promoted firms through his role as the union’s delegate on the Golden Plains Wind Farm.
The giant wind farm is backed with $350 million worth of debt from the federal government’s Clean Energy Finance Corporation.
In Brisbane, AWU insiders are also accused by fellow unionists of turning a blind eye to firms linked to criminals because they provided a bulwark against the CFMEU.
The revelations have sparked a fierce reaction from the AWU’s Victorian secretary, Ronnie Hayden, who stressed he was unaware his union had backed any such firms and demanded government intervention to clean up a sector still infected with rampant corruption and thuggery.
“Nothing’s changed,” Hayden said of the construction sector clean-up promised last year by federal and state Labor and which saw the CFMEU placed in administration.
In comments aimed at Labor and its Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan, Hayden claimed the rise of the CFMEU was helped by its relationship with the party.
He claimed it was “simply because the CFMEU were paying a shitload of money [donations] to the government, and there’s a certain person who might be in a position of power now that benefited greatly from that, and they [the CFMEU] got on every job”.
As infrastructure minister, Allan oversaw a series of major taxpayer-funded civil infrastructure projects which would have traditionally been the industrial domain of the AWU but, with the tacit support of Labor, became largely controlled by the CFMEU.
During this time, the CFMEU was increasingly infiltrated and backed by bikies and gangsters.
Now the AWU faces questions over its dealings with two building groups in the lucrative but scandal-dogged labour hire sector. One operates under the 24-7 banner, the other is Host Group.
When Johnny Keys began pushing 24-7 as the AWU’s preferred labour hire company at Australia’s largest wind farm project in about late 2023, word spread that the firm may not be all that it seemed.
Five project insiders, who spoke to this masthead on the condition of anonymity, said it was whispered the firm was linked to Melbourne underworld figures.
“I was just told that they were heavy, connected and not to be messed with,” one project insider said of his discussions on site.
A reputedly respected ex-convict known only by his first name – “Bassem” – was also rumoured to be associated with 24-7, the sources said. While it was ostensibly AWU-backed, the firm was also known to be protected by the CFMEU.

I exposed massive corruption and rights violations inside Özçelik-İş Union in Turkey. I was attacked and targeted for telling the truth. IndustriALL Global must take action and expel this union from its structure. #WorkersRights #UnionCorruption @ozcelikissen @hakiskonf

@sallymcmanus I don’t think you are a person who can speak with any credibility about #trust Sally - especially after the #unioncorruption by #CFMEU that has taken place on your watch under your leadership - astonishing that u r still in your leadership role to be honest (pardon that pun)
What the UAW’s 2024 financial filing says about Fain’s “union reform” https://t.co/klAhiNKaJ1 #UAW #unioncorruption #nomorerottencontracts #rankandfilecommittee #generalstrike
Five years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that public employees could not be forced to join unions and did not have to pay union dues if they were not in unions—yet union bosses and administrators still try to collect dues from people who have opted out. #unions #unioncorruption #TheUnionHustle
Three Ohio public employees who don’t want to be in a union have filed a lawsuit to stop union dues from being taken from their paychecks.

@916_stevo Imagine the re-do of this poster with “ #unioncorruption / #election campaign donations” as the subject matter - eeeeekkk bet one eyed Labor MP’s & supporters would NOT like that poster re-do.
Samples anyone ……… can’t wait to see them 😂
@alexonline888 @ellymelly @Aussie64CH @AndrewWilsonLM @AnthonySarich so much is happening but the quality of the commentary leaves a lot to be desired. #UnionCorruption has consequences #AusMediaFail
@sallymcmanus and #unioncorruption on an unprecedented scale Sally - which you no doubt allegedly had full knowledge of as occurring within the #CFMEU
….. don’t see that on your list though - at least we know the answer to the question #whosbiddingrudoing
@GovRonDeSantis is taking charge of Florida's 4 ports. He isn't playing BS games and Floridians are grateful!!💯

#unioncorruption
#FAFO
Gov issuing several EO's.
The biggest is concerning Florida Sea Ports.
The Gov says every 36 hours of strike time is a week of supply chain disruptions. That is unacceptable.
He is deploying the Florida National Guard, and Florida State Guard to resume port operations.
@bcndp Happy Labour Day to the BC NDP Government for wiping out thousands of STR jobs, while handing a monopoly to billionaire hotel investors (see union pension funds). Repeal STRAA! #bcpoli #unioncorruption #bcndpcorruption @Conservative_BC @JohnRustad4BC
@BenFordhamLive C’mon @BenFordhamLive …that’s not a fair/reasonable assessment of @AlboMP or @AustralianLabor govt policy re job creation - I mean after all u haven’t included jobs/appointments possibly created by Albo & Labor in the #CFMEU & other unions, at least add them in #unioncorruption
@ronInBendigo @Just_Krystle_M Maybe you didn’t offer the right kickback…sorry, I mean commission or fee to the right union official within the railway union who was connected to the right railway employee public servant or Labor govt dept to get things moving for you Don - just a thought.

@JaxKenward @TaskerLady89977 All that may be true Jax but if Sally knew about this corruption, did nothing about it, said nothing about it & worse possibly personally profited from all of it, then all her hard work is rendered meaningless by her own actions - or should I say lack of action.
