From the Reel News Facebook page:
First ever public showing of BLACKLISTED, the new documentary (15 mins) about the illegal Consulting Association blacklist containing personal details on 3213 building workers who had raised concerns about safety or unpaid wages. The secret database was used by multinational construction firms to prevent trade unionists from gaining employment. The blacklist is a continuation of a vindictive attitude by building firms towards un...ions going back many decades. The film shares first hand experience from 12 blacklisted workers (including Ricky Tomlinson) about their fight for justice.
After the film, blacklisted workers, Reel News, MPs and human rights experts will take questions and discuss the ongoing campaign against blacklisting and the implications for all trade unions today.
Chair: Steve Acheson (Blacklisted Electrician and UNITE Manchester Contracting Branch Secretary)
Speakers:
John McDonnell MP
Professor Keith Ewing (Institute of Employment Rights)
Shaun Dey (Reel News)
Chris Murphy (UCATT Executive Council)
plus Blacklisted building workers from UNITE and UCATT
