CFMEU Delegates to meet monthly in 2013<br />
Throughout 2013 all CFMEU<br />
Delegates will be required to meet<br />
regularly on a monthly basis.<br />
“Delegate meetings are common<br />
place in other states and it’s time we<br />
got back to doing the same here”,<br />
says CFMEU State Secretary Mick<br />
Buchan. “The monthly meetings will<br />
give everyone a forum to exchange<br />
workplace issues and ideas as well<br />
as co-ordinate campaigns and the<br />
like. It’s about getting back to good<br />
old-fashioned organising and<br />
placing a value on being a Delegate<br />
representing the CFMEU members<br />
in their workplace.”<br />

The mining sector is booming in Australia and generating considerable wealth. The<br />
CFMEU is committed to campaign for government policies that spread the benefits<br />
of the boom more widely. Policies that support the creation of more jobs in<br />
manufacturing, that give Australian workers priority on new construction jobs and<br />
that help mining communities get the amenities and infrastructure they deserve.<br />
The <strong>2012</strong> CFMEU National Conference marks the launch of a campaign involving all three<br />
of our divisions that seeks to protect the jobs and improve the lives of CFMEU members.<br />
The goal of our campaign is to open up the economic debate in the run up to the next federal election.<br />
We want to change the policies of the main political parties so they:<br />
• are more pro-manufacturing<br />
• protect the jobs, pay and conditions of Australian construction workers<br />
• improve the livability of mining communities.<br />
