CFMEU boss Zach Smith arranged meeting with Mick Gatto over airport construction dispute

CFMEU boss Zach Smith secretly arranged a meeting between a union organizer and Mick Gatto. This action has triggered an internal investigation and policy overhaul within the union. The clandestine meeting, held in September, aimed to resolve a dispute involving a construction company working for Melbourne Airport. Gatto reportedly demanded the company be free from union pressure and sought to act as a liaison for future union concerns. This incident occurs amidst ongoing efforts by administrators to combat the influence of figures like Gatto in the construction industry, raising questions about the union's reform process.
