    Construction union claims harassment By Jason Dowling, The Age, Australia
    The construction industry's biggest union yesterday slammed plans by the builder Multiplex to release the banking details of some of its workers to the Building Industry Taskforce, describing the move as an 'invasion of privacy' and 'harassment'.

    Multiplex will provide the information on Tuesday, following a request from the taskforce backed by the threat of legal action, the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union said.

    But the union said it would appear at an urgent hearing in the Federal Court on Monday to prevent Multiplex releasing the information.

    'We believe it a gross invasion of our members' privacy and it is just a case of the taskforce trying to flex its muscle and intimidate people,' the union's state secretary, Martin Kingham, said yesterday.
