Union Leader's Harrowing Confrontation with Rival Union
Update: 2025-12-03
Description
Queensland union leader, Stacey Schinnerl, recounts a harrowing experience of aggressive, foul-mouthed confrontations from rival union members, even in front of her children. She believes the CFMEU escalated their tactics after she became the first female leader of the AWU, making her feel unsafe at home and worried for her children. Schinnerl detailed a series of hostile actions by the CFMEU, including attempts to improperly recruit workers and intensifying turf wars. The situation became particularly heated following her election, with officials reporting a man in a CFMEU shirt verbally attacking her and her thirteen-year-old son at a Labour Day event in Brisbane in 2023. Schinnerl shared her story to highlight the personal toll such conduct takes and its impact on the entire union movement.
