Melbourne construction industry shut down following violence at vaccine protest

CFMEU officials say Monday's protesters were not actually union members, but"neo-Nazi's and right-wing extremists" who hijacked the event.

Only critical infrastructure, including hospitals and ongoing level crossing removal works, will continue during the shutdown, giving time for the workforce to get vaccinated. "We put the industry on notice just a week ago, we have seen appalling behaviour on-site and on our streets, and now we're acting decisively and without hesitation."The government said all sites will need to demonstrate compliance with the Chief Health Officer's directions prior to reopening including the requirement for workers to show evidence of having had one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine before they return to work on 5 October.

Finally they comply!

No jab no job

'We swear by the Southern Cross, to stand truly by each other, and fight to defend our rights and liberties'.

Who was responsible for the violence? 🤔

Actually, it’ll be shutdown following widespread ongoing non-compliance with health orders, after being warned repeatedly to comply.

Good decision from the gov. Sick of this shit

They've done it to themselves. Why should they get different treatment to the rest of us?

Why don't these rioting ethnically White Europeans go back their Traditional Land in Europe if they are not happy here?

Dumb move... this will make people amore angry and just incite more protests 🤡's

Some industries require mandatory vaccinations. If you wish to stay willfully unvaccinated simply dont work in an industry where vaccination is required. Its a pandemic kicking dogs wont change your need to be vaccinated 🤷🏻‍♀️

The members should not protest in person during a pandemic. Just peacefully cancel their union membership. COVID19Vic CFMEU CFMEUprotest

Two week shutdown of construction industry expected following violent Melbourne protestsViolent protests in Melbourne's CBD may trigger a complete shutdown of all construction work in the city. I am a die hard unionist and former delegate but consider builders unionist pussies. Can't work in the rain or without break rooms or vaccinate. Get to over yourselves. Think of the collective not yourselves. Freedom is for all not some. Sucked in. It’s their own fault. Typical unions. Don’t these construction workers realise that they are all replaceable To make out that this is just about protests would mean to ignore the bigger picture. Let's not forget the 70% non-compliance reported last week and that construction sites have become major transmission locations due to this stubborn non-compliance.
