Union Launches Campaign For Justice For Blacklisted Workers

Construction union UCATT have today launched a postcard campaign in their campaign for justice for blacklisted workers.

The postcards are being sent to UCATT members who are asked to send them to their local MP. The postcard requests that MPs sign Steve Rotheram’s EDM 609 on Blacklisted Workers, to support a public inquiry into the blacklisting scandal and for blacklisting to become a criminal offence.

Steve Murphy, General Secretary of UCATT, said: "We are absolutely committed to winning justice for every single blacklist victim. Those involved in blacklisting workers have avoided justice and their actions must be fully exposed. The postcard campaign is the latest step in the battle to win justice for blacklisted victims."

UCATT have printed 10,000 postcards which are being distributed via branches and shop stewards.

Mr Murphy added: "There is growing anger among construction workers, as each new revelation shows the true extent of the blacklisting scandal which is possibly going to be much greater and effect far more construction workers than ever imagined. Workers want and deserve answers for themselves and for their colleagues."
