Sue Bull joined Green Left Radio on July 31 to discuss the turmoil and right wing shift in the Victorian ALP

Victoria has a new premier four months out from a state election, showing that Labor is terrified it will face annihilation at the election. Sue Bull and Jacob Andrewartha argue that Ben Carroll is just as prepared to do the bidding of big business as his predecessor.
-
Joe Hill recounts what happened after he reported safety concerns on a site. He argues that the best way for safety issues to be addressed is when workers have a fully unionised job site, with a union agreement and an elected union health and safety representative.
-
Sue Bull argues that while the allegations sound bad, there is no hard evidence of the CFMEU’s criminality in Geoffrey Watson’s report to the Queensland commission of inquiry into the union.
-
Sensational reports of alleged thuggery and corruption in the construction industry have obscured the political treachery of Labor’s attacks on the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union, argues Sue Bull.
-
Jackie Kriz reports on union members, family, friends and comrades recognising Allan Sargent's dedication and service to the union movement, just before he died.
-
The CFMEU’s tradition of struggle can inspire all workers and explains why the ruling class wants to break its power, argues Jonathan Strauss.
-
Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union members rallied to demand that the administrators and High Court tell the truth. Jonathan Strauss reports.
-
Michael Hiscox, Construction Forestry Maritime Employees Union ACT branch secretary, has been sacked by the appointed administrator Mark Irving and the branch placed into administration. Zane Alcorn reports.
-
Thousands of trade unionists went on strike and marched to New South Wales parliament on May Day, International Workers’ Day, to remind Labor of its need to provide safe working conditions and better pay. Isaac Nellist reports.
-
The anti-union Coalition wants to attack workers’ rights and conditions, but Labor’s attack on the Construction Forestry and Maritime Employees Union shows it is no friend to workers, argues Isaac Nellist.
-
Trade unions have led the fight for peace since the fight against conscription in World War I. Steve O’Brien argues that we need to resist attacks on the trade union movement, because it will stymie the peace movement.
