ACTU Secretary Sally McManus wants to meet with union boss John Setka as he fights claims he criticised the work of anti-domestic violence campaigner Rosie Batty.
Mr Setka allegedly told a union meeting Ms Batty's advocacy had led to men having fewer rights, but he claims he is the victim of false allegations being made for political gain.
Sally McManus says Australian unions have made ending family and domestic violence a priority and she will have more to say about Mr Setka after their meeting today.
