Blacklisting In The Construction Industry (EDM376)

Blacklisting In The Construction Industry

EDM number 376 in 2013-14, proposed by Grahame Morris on 09/07/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Construction industry, Employment and Industrial relations.

That this House congratulates the GMB trade union for bringing to light widespread blacklisting of employees in the construction industry and for lodging claims on behalf of 70 of its members in the High Court; notes that GMB is the first trade union to go to the High Court in order to seek compensation for those kept out of work as a result of blacklisting activity; further notes that contemporary blacklisting came to light when in 2009 the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) seized a Consulting Association database of 3,213 construction workers and environmental activists used by 44 companies to vet new recruits and that, in particular, the ICO confirmed that 224 construction workers from around the UK were victims of blacklisting by Carillion; and unreservedly condemns the blacklisting of employees.

This motion has been signed by a total of 38 MPs.
