Russell Square Northbridge - Homeless Breakfast While others look away or pretend not to see, in the heart of the Perth CBD the @CFMEUWA steps up. Before the city wakes, before the sun rises, before the lights go on, the barbecue is fired up - eggs, bacon, sausages wrapped up in a fresh roll with drinks for those doing it toughest in our community. We fight every day for safety, wages and conditions, but union values don’t stop at the site gate. We stand with working people. We stand with the homeless. We stand with our community. CFMEU WA leading from the front and Setting the Pace ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽 #CFMEUWA #CFMEU #UnionPower #Construction #Perth #WesternAustralia #Homeless #BBQ

The Pour That Stopped WA: Inside One of the Biggest Concrete Pours in State History Hundreds of concrete trucks. Thousands of tonnes poured. Dozens of hardworking @CFMEUWA members on the tools around the clock. At the new Women and Babies Hospital in Murdoch, workers pulled off one of the biggest concrete pours in recent WA history - a massive operation that began at 2am and rolled right through the night and into the next day. To put it into perspective, the pour covered an area roughly half the size of Optus Stadium, and completed in just a matter of hours. This wasn’t luck. It was precision, planning and teamwork at the highest level. Everyone had one shot to get it right, and @CFMEUWA members delivered under pressure. From the pump crews and riggers to the concrete gangs and supervisors, every worker played their part in a seamless operation that showcased the skill, experience and professionalism that Union labour brings to major projects across Western Australia. Big jobs demand big standards - and once again @CFMEUWA members proved they are Setting the Pace for the entire industry. #CFMEUWA #CFMEU #UnionPower #Construction #Perth #WesternAustralia #WomenBabies #Hospital #FSH #Murdoch #Concrete

Burswood Point is a milestone ten-year West Australian project that must succeed. The @CFMEUWA has drawn a line in the sand to stop phoenix operators who undermine workers' rights and livelihoods. We will never take a backwards step and will always fight to ensure that all construction projects deliver proper wages and conditions, safety and job security for the workers who build them. Phoenixing is a national crisis, and it ends now. #CFMEUWA #CFMEU #BurswoodPoint #BelmontPark #Cityscapes #Phoenixing #GoldenSedayu #Construction #Perth #WesternAustralia #PropertyInvestmentPerthWA #AgungSedayu #RichardHalimKusuma #MimiWong #HowardDonaldSugiarso #AndrewSugiaputra #LeoSugiaputra #SettingThePace

#FlashbackFriday - Through the tough 'noughties' when draconian laws came hard and fast, one thing never broke - solidarity. The @CFMEUWA stood its ground, fought back, and won. Out of that struggle came a powerful anthem: “Whatever It Takes.” Then - and now - it’s a rallying cry. Teaming up with Aussie music legend Mike Brady, the voice behind “Up There Cazaly”, Rob Mitchell’s lyrics helped bring the track to life. Backed by a lineup of top-tier musicians under the banner 'No Ticket No Start' the song delivers raw, authentic pub-rock energy. It’s loud, proud and built for the job site, the rally, and the weekend BBQ. As Brady put it,this is real music by real people - just like the union itself! The message is simple, strong, and timeless: we’ll do whatever it takes... youtube.com/watch?v=--__8ZoL… #CFMEUWA #CFMEU #UnionPower #Construction #Perth #WesternAustralia #FBF

After many months of negotiating, Freo’s have signed an EBA giving the workers in the North West what they deserve. Massive thanks to the delegates and union officials for their hard work and commitment to see this agreement through, and to our members for hanging in there - this is for you! Now it’s time to start getting the rest of the North West on a level playing field… Mammoets, Monos, Generals, CCL, North West cranes - we’re looking at you. Get in touch with @CFMEUWA Assistant Secretary Brad Upton and organiser Nathan Fisher to get an agreement going. When we stand and fight together WE WIN TOGETHER! @CFMEUWA - Setting the Pace in the North West. #CFMEUWA #CFMEU #unionPower #NorthWest #Pilbara #Crane #Rigging #Freos #EBA #Construction #WesternAustralia #SettingThePace

Trades Hall is getting too small for this movement, April's members' monthly meeting was packed. @CFMEUWA lead organiser Monty delivered a loud and clear industry report: membership is growing, EBAs are moving, jobs are being delivered on time, and there's more new projects on the way. Young and old. Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters... members standing shoulder to shoulder. They’re here because they believe. They’re here because they see it working. The Union is growing. The movement is rising. Everything we’re building is moving forward, strong and united. The @CFMEUWA is Setting the Pace. #CFMEUWA #CFMEU #SettingThePace #Construction #Perth #WesternAustralia
