In recent years the HWU, which called on DanielAndrews to fire JennyMikakos, has been home to a rogues’ gallery of VictorianLabor factional hacks and is up to its neck in often toxic internal party politics. | ANALYSIS by benschneiders springst

Ms Mikakos is a senior left-faction minister, so is a factional rival to the HWU. The timing of the letter’s release – as Ms Mikakos was about to give evidence at the hotel quarantine inquiry –lends credence to a suggestion doing the rounds in Labor circles that this was more a factional hit than anything else. The HWU, of course, disputes this.

The HWU, which was previously known as the Health Services Union No.1 branch, has long been fought over as part of sub-factional warfare in Labor’s right at a steep cost to its low-paid members which include cleaners and orderlies. It was the union previously controlled by allies of the disgraced Kathy Jackson who Ms Asmar deposed.
