Australian Federal Police officers are raiding a number of properties across Sydney as part of an investigation targeting officials from the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union.
Officers are searching the CFMEU headquarters at Pyrmont, and a number of other raids are underway at properties across Sydney.
A spokesman for the AFP has confirmed a Trade Union task force investigation has resulted in the execution of search warrants.
The AFP says the raids are part of an ongoing investigation and it will not be commenting further.
NSW Police are also involved in the execution of search warrants at several locations.
The CFMEU has been contacted for comment.
The ABC has seen three NSW Police officers stationed at the rear of the CFMEU headquarters.
One staff member arrived for work and was inside the building for about 20 seconds before she was ushered out by officials.
The CFMEU represents 100,000 construction workers across the country as well as more than 20,000 mining and energy workers.
More to come.
