THE CFMEU has told builders it plans to shut down an Aldi construction site for “the foreseeable future” after stopping work on the supermarket for a second day.
The Herald Sun again saw CFMEU representatives block off the site at Millers Rd, Altona on Monday, after Geelong-based builder Magellan Projects was forced to abandon work on Friday.
CFMEU representatives again refused access to trucks carrying building materials, parking a car across the fenced-off site’s entrance to prevent them getting inside.
The Herald Sun understands suppliers contracted to the builder were today told by the militant union: “There’ll be (no work) happening there in the foreseeable future.”
A builder at the site allegedly responded that Magellan would have to look at “shutting the site down for the week”.
The Herald Sun understands the CFMEU has taken issue with Magellan Projects as it does not have a union-endorsed enterprise bargaining agreement and “owes money to people in the industry”.
Building industry sources said the union had a long-running battle with Aldi for bringing in international experts to oversee the German company’s specific method of laying its concrete floors to provide extra strength.
A CFMEU representative arrived at about 5.45am and at 6.10am was joined by a second union associate, who parked his station wagon across the entrance.
