Two significant unions in Victoria have shifted away from supporting the Labor government just a month before the state election, The Guardian reported.

The Australian Services Union (ASU), aligned with Labor, launched attack advertisements accusing Ben Carroll of lying and confirmed it will not participate in door-to-door campaigning for Labor in the upcoming weeks.

Simultaneously, the Electrical Trades Union (ETU) has redirected its campaign funds to defend its members at a royal commission, effectively withdrawing financial support from Labor.

These developments indicate a notable change in union support for the Labor party ahead of the election, potentially impacting campaign dynamics.

Observers will be watching how this shift influences voter sentiment and election outcomes in Victoria.
