Site
Allowances & Project Agreements
For
decades the CFMEU and other building unions negotiated project
agreements that provided minimum standards of redundancy and
superannuation and made provision for payment of site allowances.
The
Federal Liberal Government in 2005 banned all project agreements and
site allowances. If any builder or sub-contractor agrees to a site
allowances they are banned from working on any building site in
Australia.
The
CFMEU will be lobbying the newly elected Federal Labor Government to
lift this ban, to allow for project agreements and site allowances
