A $400 million union redundancy fund has moved to kick out the maritime union in an extraordinary escalation of a union war enveloping Woodside's billion-dollar expansion of its Pluto LNG project.
Sources familiar with the matter told The Australian Financial Review the Electrical Trades Union, which founded the severance and redundancy fund known as Protect, last week gave the Maritime Union of Australia 60 days' notice of its removal as a beneficiary.
