Manage episode 427009695 series 2507494
When people think of the CFMEU, Australia’s powerful and fearsome construction union, they picture its top dog, John Setka.
But as he prepares to step down from the union’s Victorian branch, Setka’s legacy is overshadowed by his brutality. Many current and former colleagues think his leadership was poisonous to the union, and that he may have even destroyed it.
Today, associate editor of The Saturday Paper Martin Mckenzie-Murray on the power and legacy of CFMEU boss, John Setka, and what comes next for the union.
