BLACKLISTING RUINS LIVES CAMPAIGNS

Motion Text

That this House is most concerned that blacklisting of trade unionists is an activity that still continues and welcomes the publication of the report, Ruined Lives, prepared by Professor Keith Ewing for the Union of Construction, Allied Trades and Technicians which was launched on 20 October 2009; and argues that the scope of the new regulations should be wider than outlawing blacklisting for trade union activities and that such an injustice should be a compensatable offence.
