| A construction union whistleblower has blasted an ‘‘independent’’ investigation into the allegations of corruption he raised.
The Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union on Friday released its review into a string of allegations about misconduct by senior officials and links to crime figure George Alex. The claims were raised by whistleblowers who complained to CFMEU national secretary Michael O’Connor late in 2013.
The allegations will be heard when the Heydon royal commission into union corruption sits in Sydney on Tuesday.
The complaints spurred the union to ask its law firm, Slater & Gordon, to organise an investigation. It chose Sydney barrister Tony Slevin, whose report, released on Friday, exonerates the union’s leadership but suggests changes to the union’s rules dealing with whistleblowers and complaints.
