CFMEU administrator Mark Irving is now taking the inquiry through the actions the union has been taking under his control in working with other unions, employer groups and some governments.This has included monthly meetings with the Master Builders Association, major contractors and subcontractor groups – though he says this hasn’t played out quite the same way in Queensland.Irving says the union in Queensland stands ready and willing to engage and “move forward to a new relationship” that is available to “all of the states who wish to participate”.When questioned by his counsel, Chris O’Grady, about the idea of deregistering the union, Irving says such action would lead to “chaos” and was opposed by major employers.
