FOUR unions have won an injunction against Queensland government moves to begin dismissing more than 300 QBuild workers.
Workers with the government's maintenance company were told on Tuesday morning they would have one-on-one sessions with managers to discuss redundancy or relocation offers.
But Australian Manufacturing Workers Union (AMWU) organiser Scott Stanford says the workers had not been properly briefed.
"QBuild had not followed their own due diligence procedures and many of the workers had not been able to make informed decisions about their futures," Mr Stanford told AAP.
"They weren't sure if they should stay with the business or take a voluntary redundancy because it was unclear even how many positions would go."
Mr Stanford said the union expected around 320 positions to be cut.
The AMWU, the Electrical Trades Union, the Plumbers Union and the CFMEU were granted a 28-day injunction in the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission late on Tuesday afternoon.
Mr Stanford said the unions hoped to begin talks with QBuild on Wednesday.
"We hope to ascertain exactly where the positions are that they believe they can maintain within the business ... because we don't know where those positions are," he said.
"People were being asked to make a decision on moving north, but without knowing what assistance would be given, whether the job would be the same or if it would have longevity.
"We firmly believe this will be the first round of cuts in QBuild and the way things are going there is likely to be a second round."
