An inquiry into the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) has heard testimony from a construction worker who reported being confronted by men allegedly linked to a bikie gang. The testimony serves as part of an ongoing investigation into the internal culture and operational practices of the union.

While the specific details of the confrontation remain under review by the inquiry, the testimony highlights concerns regarding the influence of criminal elements within the construction industry. The inquiry is tasked with determining the extent of these associations and whether they have impacted worker safety or union integrity. As the proceedings continue, the inquiry is expected to hear from further witnesses to establish a clearer picture of the events described by the worker. No formal findings have been released at this stage, and the inquiry continues to gather evidence regarding the alleged links between union-affiliated sites and organized crime groups.
