ban blacklisting
2 December 2009
Unite, the biggest union in the construction industry has today
(2nd December) welcomed the government's announcement to introduce
new rules to ban the practice of blacklisting workers for their
trade union activities or membership.
Unite assistant general secretary, Les Bayliss said: “We
welcome the government's decision to introduce regulations to end
the unjust practice of blacklisting. The government must now make
it a priority to bring robust regulations into effect. Too
many construction workers have suffered victimisation at the hands
of unscrupulous employers and it is right to stamp out this
practice for good. "
Unite has issued claims under the Trade Union & Labour
Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 S137.
