Tension is building between the Master Builders Association and construction union after the arrest on Friday of union delegate.
Veteran unionist Bill White was arrested and charged with trespass at the Royal Hobart Hospital construction site.
Unionists rallied at the site to protest against the arrest.
Unions Tasmania boss Kevin Harkins says the CFMEU was unaware it was not allowed onsite without prior approval.
"The circumstances at the hospital there was an agreement with the builder, that was Fairbrother, that we could come on site at any time," he said.
"They withdrew that agreement at very short notice and, rather than letting us know, they just decided to ring the police."
