FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The embattled Health Services Union (HSU) will soon find out whether it has been booted out of the Australia’s peak union body over allegations of financial mismanagement.
Fair Work Australia has referred a 1100-page investigation report into three former and current HSU officials and another person to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to consider possible criminal charges.
The report makes allegations of workplace law breaches against three former or current HSU officials and another person and it’s understood former union boss and now Labor MP Craig Thomson could be one of those involved.
Mr Thomson, the member for the NSW seat of Dobell, says he is innocent and will continue to cooperate with authorities.
The Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) is poised to suspend the HSU – which which represents 77,000 hospital, aged care and community sector workers – to send a message that it won’t tolerate corruption in the labour movement.
ACTU president Ged Kearney said the peak body’s executive would meet in Melbourne on Thursday to consider suspending the HSU.
“The union movement has zero tolerance for corruption or misuse of members’ funds, and is committed to transparency and democracy,” she said.
Ms Kearney said HSU officials had the right to the presumption of innocence and due process, but the issues facing the union were so “substantial” the ACTU believed strong action must be taken.
Federal prosecutors say a criminal investigation would be needed, rather than simply a report from the industrial watchdog, before it could consider taking Health Services Union officials to court.
Opposition leader Tony Abbott has called for FWA to immediately provide a brief to prosecutors.
