| Description: |
The illegal strategies of the multinational construction companies are uncovered by the blacklisted workers of the Consulting Association scandal. |
| Synopsis: |
The Consulting Association blacklist scandal was the worst human rights abuse of workers in the UK for 60 years. This book tells the new and controversial story of the covert illegal strategies that multinational construction companies were willing to resort to in their attempt to keep union activists away from their places of work. This is a story of a bitter unionised struggle, where spying and collusion with the police and security services resulted in victimisation, violence and long-term unemployment leading to the destruction of families and communities. Based on first hand accounts of the workers, Blacklisted reveals how they unionised major construction projects, how they were unlawfully victimised for their troubles and how they finally won justice for their years of pain. From building sites to the High Court and parliament, this is a story of ordinary working men taking on some of the most powerful multinational construction firms in the world: a modern-day David and Goliath. |
