BLACKLISTING RUINS LIVES CAMPAIGNS

Early day motion 246, tabled 25 November 2009 by Michael Clapham (Labour). Signed by 68 members.

That this House is most concerned that blacklisting of trade unionists is an activity that still continues and welcomes the publication of the report, Ruined Lives, prepared by Professor Keith Ewing for the Union of Construction, Allied Trades and Technicians which was launched on 20 October 2009; and argues that the scope of the new regulations should be wider than outlawing blacklisting for trade union activities and that such an injustice should be a compensatable offence.

Signatures by party: Labour 57, Liberal Democrat 6, Independent 2, Conservative 1, Scottish National Party 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
