A Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union page shows CFMEU flags and
defaced Eureka flags. A variety of CFMEU flags, generally prominently showing
the initials CFMEU in white, and also Eureka flags,
are used at CFMEU protests and at work sites. The display of union flags at work
sites can be a disputed issue (see
http://www.couriermail.com.au). In 2007, the Australian Building and
Construction Commission objected to material containing the Eureka flag image,
calling it a "union symbol", with CFMEU Victorian Assistant Secretary Tommy
Watson responding that it "is not a just symbol of trade unions, but a symbol of
working-class struggle".

Some examples of flags used:
Black with white "CFMEU" in a serif typeface,
red with white "CFMEU" in sans serif typeface:

This black version seems to include a circular union logo in the lower fly:

A flag for the Victorian branch of the Construction and General Division: black
with white serif CFMEU at top, smaller "VICTORIA" just below, and white round
logo towards the fly. Note that this is one the CFMEU logos that incorporates
the Eureka cross:
