ASU and ETU Turn on Victorian Labor, Launch Attack Ads and Pull Election Funds
ASU launches 'Ben Lied. Labor lies' campaign while ETU diverts over $1.6m to fight construction royal commission
Two key unions historically aligned with the Labor Party in Victoria, the Australian Services Union (ASU) and the Electrical Trades Union (ETU), have turned against the state government a month out from the November election. The ASU has launched attack ads accusing Premier Ben Carroll of lying, while the ETU has redirected its campaign funding to support members facing a construction royal commission.
