In short:

Tens of thousands of workers have attended rallies in Sydney and Melbourne to protest the forced administration of the construction division of the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU).

A senior Victorian union figure has threatened an additional 72 hours of strikes.

What's next?

The federal government is planning a meeting next month between unions, government and businesses, in a bid to reset in the wake of the CFMEU scandal.
