Australia's largest construction union, CFMEU, supports non-compliant Synergy Scaffolding Services in major projects.

The CFMEU, Australia's largest construction union, has promoted Synergy Scaffolding Services despite the company's history of financial failure, unpaid taxes, and a catastrophic safety record. Synergy Scaffolding Services has secured significant contracts on major infrastructure projects, including the nation's war memorial redevelopment, the Sydney Metro, a major hospital, and a public school. The company has secured multiple enterprise bargaining agreements (EBAs) with the union's support, allowing it to seize market share from non-union-aligned firms in major projects across Sydney.
