2. National Assistant Secretaries and officers' speeches and published articles

Significant developments in Occupational Health and Safety in Australia's Construction Industry
    'Significant advances in OHS achieved by unions working together with employers and government authorities are now at risk, to the detriment of workers,' writes Lindsay Fraser, CFMEU Assistant National Secretary in a paper published in the International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health (IJOEH) Vol 13 No.1 Jan-Mar 2007, Special Issue: The International Construction Industry
    For other articles in the IJOEH Construction Issue: go to table of contents.
Australian Industrial laws and freedom of expression
    In a new paper for the ANU Democratic Audit of Australia, CFMEU Construction National Legal Officer, Tom Roberts, discusses the implications of changes to industrial relations law for freedom of expression in the construction sector.

    Virtually all forms of industrial action are deemed unlawful in the sector and could result in deductions in pay, fines, and damages claims: the Australian Building and Construction Commissioner has been established to monitor and enforce this. This constitutes a direct attack on the right to peaceful political protest, Roberts argues.

Into the Industrial Dark Ages: the civil liberties implications of the Federal Government's Industrial Laws for the Australian Construction Industry
    By Tom Roberts, CFMEU Senior National Legal Officer. Published in Civil Liberty, the Journal of the NSW Council for Civil Liberties Inc. June 2005
