Infos

Blacklisted tells the explosive story of the illegal strategies used by transnational construction companies to deny union activists work.

---

This is a story of a bitter struggle, in which collusion with the UK police and security services resulted in victimization, violence and unemployment, with terrible effects on families and communities. Drawing on first-hand accounts of the workers, Blacklisted reveals how, when major construction projects were unionized, those involved were unlawfully targeted. Includes international perspectives on the practice of blacklisting.
