00:00Chanting filled Macquarie Street as Parliament resumed.
00:05Union Power! Union Power!
00:08The CFMEU's construction division was placed into administration
00:11over allegations of corruption and organised crime links.
00:14These rotten bastards sold the CFMEU out.
00:17In defiance of the administrators' advice not to attend the protest,
00:21members rallied against the takeover,
00:23including sacked NSW Secretary Darren Greenfield,
00:26who's fighting bribery charges.
00:28And us, as members of the CFMEU,
00:31need to get our union back in our hands,
00:34back in the members' hands.
00:35We're not going to change our minds.
00:37The independent administrator is there.
00:39He is there for a reason.
00:40Tomorrow, nurses and midwives will take to the streets.
00:43More than 600 surgeries are expected to be postponed.
00:47The government has refused to meet their demand
00:49for an immediate 15% pay rise.
00:52The union finds that even harder to accept
00:54now that police have been offered a bump of between 20% and 40%
00:58over four years.
00:59It does feel as though we are the ones that are left out here.
01:02We've seen pay increases delivered
01:04for most of the other public sector workforces now.
01:08And the government is also under pressure
01:10from the Electrical Trades Union.
01:12The government is staring down the threat
01:14of more industrial action on Thursday
01:16on Sydney's train network.
01:18Union members are planning work bans
01:20that could bring the network to a halt
01:22unless there's a trial of 24-hour services.
