A new turf war initiated by Australia's most militant union, with the blessing of Daniel Andrews, has begun in Melbourne and broader Victoria.

The Herald Sun reports today:

Construction sites across Victoria are grinding to a halt after the state’s militant building launched a new turf war, prompting accusations of bullying tactics.

The CFMEU has launched an unprecedented bid to grow its power base by demanding that hundreds of surveyors on work sites do deals with them and join the union.

The refusal to allow the workers on jobs unless they agree has stopped work on projects and shut staff out of sites unless they meet their demands.

Builders have been looking for workarounds and crisis meetings were held late last week to try and solve the issue and prevent massive cost blowouts and delays.

The industry has been blindsided by the move because surveyors are not believed to be covered under the union’s workplace protection powers.
