Former Construction, Forestry, and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU) boss John Setka is facing more charges over alleged workplace disruption. But rather than his usual target—an infrastructure project or building site—this time it’s a footy oval, as Australians call the sports grounds on which AFL matches are played.
The Fair Work Ombudsman launched the Federal Court proceedings against Setka and the CFMEU on Feb. 19, claiming he had tried to coerce the AFL into dismissing its chief umpire, Stephen McBurney.
