CANBERRA, Australia—Thousands of workers across Australia halted work and took to the streets to protest the federal government’s decision to place the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union’s (CFMEU) construction division under administration.
A few hundred gathered at Woden Town Square in Canberra, where Zach Smith, the national secretary of the CFMEU’s local division, declared this was not the end of the union.
