Comment on London Metropolitan Police admits role in blacklisting construction workers

Comments

They were blacklisted because they were organized?

Aren't almost all construction workers organized?

No, since most construction companies in the UK do not directly employ construction personnel. Many work indirectly though employment agencies or as 'self-employed' sub-contractors.

The blacklist is a legacy of different times when this wasn't so.
