John Setka is the Secretary of the CFMEU.

Controversy
In 2003, Setka was fined $500 for threatening a witness in an Industrial Relations Commission case. The witness told the court that Setka had said to him “You just f---ing watch, I’ll get you. I’ve got a 12-year-old son and I swear on his f---ing life, I swear on my son’s life, you watch, I’ll fix you up." The CFMEU Victorian Secretary Martin Kingham defended Setka following his conviction saying: "We are annoyed that he was fined because we don't believe he's guilty, The fact that three of the charges were dismissed shows what a complete waste of taxpayers money this has been."

In 2010, Setka was fined $6000 for threatening two Bovis Lend Lease managers. The court heard Setka told Bovis employees: “This job’s a f---ing death trap and a disgrace. If you kill anyone on this job I am going to quit my f---ing job and get you." When one of the employees asked if Setka was threatening him, Setka replied: “I’m not f---ing threatening you, I’m f---ing promising, I will get you, and you."
