THE new construction industry watchdog says it is holding unlawful union behaviour to account and investigating more unlawful industrial action and coercion matters than its predecessor.
In Perth on Wednesday, Fair Work Building Construction (FWBC) chief Leigh Johns will tell a conference of the resource industry employer group, the Australian Mines and Metals Association (AMMA), that his organisation shares a lot of common ground with AMMA and its members.
The AMMA has previously expressed concerns FWBC would be less effective than its predecessor, the Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC), in holding militant construction unions to account for damaging and illegal behaviour.
Mr Johns says in a statement their common ground is the aim of good workplace relations practices that allow projects to be delivered on time, on budget, with no disruption.
He says it is important for industry to back the new regulator and to work with it as it did with the ABCC.
The FWBC is investigating more unlawful industrial action and coercion matters than in the past and is also pursuing other matters, Mr Johns said.
In the same statement, AMMA executive director Minna Knight welcomed the tough stance displayed by FWBC earlier this month.
" ...it was successful in prosecuting the CEPU, the CFMEU and the latter's notorious repeat offender, Joe McDonald," Ms Knight said.
AMMA members have been very concerned about a rise in militant industrial activity by construction unions since the ABCC was replaced with the FWBC, she said.
"We must maintain Australia's international reputation as a great place to invest in projects, employ people and work," Ms Knight said.
