To all our members and delegates,
The CFMEU will be closed from midday Wednesday 23 December 2020 and will be re-opening Monday 11 January 2021 at 8.30am.
Important reminder to members
if your employment is terminated and you want to file an unfair dismissal claim you only have 21 days to
lodge your application with the Fair Work Commission. If you are dismissed during the Christmas/New Year
period, and your CFMEU Branch is closed, you should consider lodging your application with the Fair Work
Commission directly to meet the time limit.
You can contact the Fair Work Commission on 1300 799 675 and further information is available
from their website https://www.fwc.gov.au/. You should contact the counter organiser at the
CFMEU NSW Branch for further advice and assistance as soon as you can when the office re-opens.
We wish you and your families a safe and happy Christmas and look forward to seeing you all for a big 2021!
