Construction workers will today call on 65 year-old Leightons CEO Wal King to lead an industry push to create more jobs for mature workers in the industry.
Speaking ahead of Leighton Holdings AGM in Sydney today, CFMEU Construction Division National Secretary Dave Noonan said Mr King had a golden opportunity to stand up for his generation of workers.
The CFMEU is campaigning to have quotas of mature age workers on major building projects.
“Mr King has worked for Leighton his whole career. The same cannot be said for hundreds of mature age construction workers, who are thrown on the scrap heap like broken toys,” said Mr Noonan.
