EBA '27 YOUR WORLD. YOUR FUTURE. YOUR AGREEMENT.

Agreements are built on unity, solidarity and the strength of our working men and women, led by our Secretary, organisers, delegates and rank-and-file members.

Every day, our workers build our cities and the infrastructure that keeps Western Australia moving. Our industry continues to grow, and the hard work never stops.

Workers are proud to work, proud to build and proud to succeed. But success must never come at the expense of the very people who make it possible.

Everything is going up, and EBA '27 must keep up. It is about securing decent wages, fair conditions, safer workplaces and respect for every worker.

We build this State. We deserve our fair share of its success.

ONE TEAM. ONE DREAM. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽

CFMEU WA - RAISING TO THE PACE!

There’s no better way to finish the week than bringing our organisers, delegates and workers together around a BBQ.

A barbecue can’t repay the hard work, long hours or the physical toll our workers put their bodies through every single day.

But it’s a symbol of our appreciation, respect and gratitude for everything they do.

That’s who we are. That’s what we stand for. And that’s why we’ll keep doing what we do standing together, looking after our people and fighting for our members.

One Team.
One Dream.

Thank you to everyone who has shared kind thoughts, condolences and memories following the passing of legendary South West scaffolder Jamie Hodge.

Your words are a comforting reminder of how deeply Jamie was loved and respected, and how many lives he touched.

Jamie’s funeral will be held on Monday 19 October at 1.30 pm at Bunbury Crematorium, Hales Street, Carey Park.

We will farewell a much-loved mate, but his memory will live on in the hearts of his family, friends and workmates.

Heroes die. Legends live forever.

Rest in peace, Jamie.

WE NEED A BIGGER VENUE - THE WORKERS’ MOVEMENT IS TOO BIG TO BE CONTAINED!

Hundreds packed Perth State Library for the CFMEU WA EBA 27 LAUNCH - with members still outside because there wasn’t enough room for everyone!

Different trades.
Different cultures.
Different religions.
Different backgrounds.

ONE INDUSTRY. ONE BANNER. ONE FIGHT - CFMEU!

Our Secretary, organisers, delegates and members marched through Perth under police es**rt with discipline, pride and unity.

WE WERE PEACEFUL, BUT WE WERE NOT SILENT! WE WERE LOUD, PROUD AND STRONG - STANDING SHOULDER TO SHOULDER!

We build the hospitals, schools, towers and infrastructure that keep this state moving. We bring the skills, the sweat and the hard work.

WE BUILT THIS CITY, FLOOR BY FLOOR. NOW IT’S TIME TO PAY US MORE!

We will not accept a race to the bottom. We will not leave workers behind. We demand fair wages, better conditions and the future our families deserve!

BUILDERS, DEVELOPERS AND SUBCONTRACTORS - WE WANT TO WORK WITH YOU AND SUPPORT YOUR SUCCESS. BUT THAT SUCCESS MUST BE BUILT ON FAIR PAY, RESPECT AND PROPER CONDITIONS FOR THE WORKERS WHO MAKE IT HAPPEN!

MAKE NO MISTAKE: WE ARE ORGANISED. WE ARE UNITED. AND WE ARE READY TO RAISE THE PACE!

NO DIVISION. NO RETREAT. NO WORKER LEFT BEHIND.

EBA 27 - OUR WORK. OUR FUTURE. OUR FIGHT!

ONE TEAM. ONE DREAM

WEST GATE DISASTER 56 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

At 11.50am on 15 October 1970, span 10–11 of Melbourne’s West Gate Bridge collapsed during construction, plunging 50 metres to the ground below. Thirty-five workers were killed. Eighteen others were injured.

Thirty-five men who went to work never came home. Families lost husbands, fathers, sons and brothers. Workmates carried grief that would last a lifetime.

The Royal Commission exposed grave failures in design, construction, supervision and communication. It described the disaster as “utterly unnecessary”.

For the CFMEU, those words carry an enduring obligation. These workers’ deaths must never become just another chapter in construction history. Their memory demands action.

Safety is an employer’s responsibility. Proper engineering, competent supervision and safe construction methods are fundamental duties. Workers must have the right to question dangerous decisions, raise concerns and stop unsafe work without intimidation.

Every time our delegates challenge a hazard, every time our health and safety representatives demand protection, we honour the workers of West Gate.

We remember the lives stolen, the families shattered and the survivors forever changed.

And we renew our promise: to stand together, demand accountability and fight for every worker’s right to return home safely.

Thirty-five lives. Never forgotten.

HONOURING OUR LEGACY. READY TO RAISE THE PACE

We began our monthly meeting with one minute of silence to honour three members we have lost since our last meeting.

Their legacy lives on, and now it’s our time to carry the torch forward with strength, unity, and determination.

Today we stand together for the EBA 27 LOG OF CLAIM ENDORSEMENT at the State Library
Our members built this city. Now it’s time to fight for the wages, conditions, and future we deserve.

ONE TEAM.
ONE DREAM.
See you all there!
