The CFMEU says it is rebuilding after two of its former officials received jail sentences over corruptly taking thousands of dollars in bribes.

Darren Greenfield, 60, and his son Michael, 40, were escorted behind bars on Friday after accepting wads of cash, in some cases literally under the table, from a building company for preferential union treatment and access to contracts.

Judge Leonie Flannery labelled the breach of trust of both senior union officials "egregious" during a sentence at Sydney's Central District Court.

"The offenders used the influence of the union for their own personal benefit rather than for the benefit of its members," she said.

Darren Greenfield was the union's NSW branch secretary when he accepted bribes over more than a year and a half from 2018 to 2020.
