 The Construction Forestry Mining Energy Union has four
separate divisions and each division has branches in
each state or territory.
Each division and branch has officers elected
exclusively by members in that division and branch.
In NSW, only members of the Construction and General
division can vote for the officers of the Construction
and General divisional Branch.
The CFMEU Construction and General Division NSW branch
has over 80 officers and staff. The majority of the
officers are elected by financial members of the
divisional branch every four years.
Non-unionists and non-financial members are not
eligible to vote in these elections.
- The supreme governing body of the branch is the
Divisional Branch State Council
which meets at least every 2 years.
- In between State Council meetings the branch is
governed by the Committee of
Management which meets monthly.
- In between Committee of Management meetings the
Executive Officers of the
branch - the Secretary, President and two Assistant
Secretaries - are responsible
for the day to day management and running of the
branch.
- The Secretary of the union, subject to direction
of the Committee of Management,
co-ordinates the work of the Executive Officers and
other specialist officers.
- The other Executive Officers and the Industrial
Co-ordinator support and supervise the organisers.
- The Organisers service the members at job sites
and support site delegates.
Specialist Officers co-ordinate the work of staff and
other appointed officers in areas
such as Legal, Wage Claims, Finance and Administration.
Delegates to Divisional Conference represent the Branch
at the National Conference of the Construction & General
Division.
