"Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd has confirmed the arrest of Felix Anthony, the second leader of the Fijian Trades Union Congress (FTUC) to be arrested in as many weeks.
FTUC president Daniel Urai was arrested last week. The Federal Government says neither man has been charged.
It says it is keeping a close eye on Fijian authorities, who it says are targeting and intimidating trade unionists and other political opponents.
But ACTU president Ged Kearney is calling for stronger action against the regime.
"We are considering actually as a movement asking Australians to consider other places in t he Pacific to go for their holidays rather than Fiji," she said."
