The CFMEU will retain its resources and influence over the Queensland Government and become "no less militant" in the construction sector even if it proceeds with a historic split, the industry fears.

It follows the mining and energy division's 300 delegates voting unanimously to split from their controversial colleagues in construction on Monday, in which they accused construction bosses of "macho posturing and chest beating".
