FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The interim administrator of the Health Service Union (HSU) has suspended eight officials, including HSU boss Michael Williamson and HSU national secretary Kathy Jackson, only hours after retired Federal Court judge Michael Moore became the union’s interim administrator, according to Fairfax Media.
The union reportedly disconnected the mobile phones of the officials at 1600 AEST Tuesday and gave them until the same time Wednesday to return any union property, including credit cards and computers.
It is expected that Mr Moore will be appointed as the union’s full administrator within the next two weeks, which would likely bring about the formal firing of the eight officials and a call for new elections.
Mr Williamson is the subject of a police investigation into allegations that he was the recipient of secret commissions from a major supplier to the union.
Mr Williamson said on Tuesday that he will not seek re-election, although the SMH reported that he has already organised a ticket to be led by an ally, Bob Hull.
“This will be the last email you will receive from me as the general secretary, as from today I have been suspended along with all other officers and I am saddened that it has come to this,” he wrote in an email to staff, according to Fairfax.
“The union doesn’t deserve what has occurred and I think we all know where the dysfunctionalty [sic] exists.”
Meanwhile, Ms Jackson on Tuesday night gave a speech to the HR Nicholls Society Tuesday night where she said that basic democratic processes have broken down within the union sector because Labor Party leaders, including Employment and Workplace Relations Minister Bill Shorten, are focused on preserving political power, according to The Australian Financial Review.
She told the group that union leaders are too well-financed to be challenged, citing the HSU which banned candidates for internal elections from putting their photos and campaign statements in election literature.
“Incumbents, you see, don’t need to have the photos and statements of candidates on their tickets posted out by the AEC,” she said, according to the AFR. “They can pay for campaigns from the large war chests they typically have available. Bill Shorten, as Minister of Workplace Relations, is the most obvious example of Dracula in charge of the blood bank that one can imagine. The notion of making a union more open to recapture by its own rank and file is anathema to a warlord’s world view.”
Her comments will likely be met harshly by the union movement. She told the audience she was speaking in a personal capacity and not as an HSU official, the AFR added.
