The construction arm of the CFMEU should be dumped from the Victorian Labor Party, the state’s premier has demanded to the national executive.

Jacinta Allan has announced she made the request following media reports the union has become infiltrated by bikie and organised crime figures.

“What we have seen here in recent days isn’t unionism, it’s thuggish, unacceptable behaviour at its worst,” Ms Allan told reporters on Monday.

Ms Allan is referring the construction division to Victoria Police and the state’s anti-corruption watchdog.

The government will also toughen anti-bikie laws to make it easier for police and courts to stop certain individuals from associating with each other.
