Protest at Balfour Beatty in Glasgow

Protest call against Balfour Beatty:

At 10am on Friday 24th August at Balfour Beatty Engineering Services HQ, Lumina Building, 40 Ainslie Road, Hillington Park, Glasgow, G52 4RU

The protest is being called jointly by: Blacklist Support Group and UNITE Scottish Sparks Rank & File:

Balfour Beatty is one of the worst of all the blacklisting firms with six Enforcement Orders against the company by the Information Commissioners Office because of their role in the Consulting Association scandal.  Gerry Harvey - Director of Human Resources for Balfour Beatty Engineering Services Limited - is a proven blacklister having been identified in parliament and in court. Balfour Beatty is continuing to victimise workers who raise concerns about safety issues including: Jonathan Carr from Birmingham and Alan Dransfield from the South West.  Balfour Beatty were also the lead firm attempting to drive down wages and de-skill the electrical contracting industry during the recent BESNA dispute. Electricians in Scotland involved in the dispute have been targeted by Balfour Beatty for redundancy (when no other workers were made redundant on the entire site).

Francie Graham and Steuart Merchant represent blacklisted workers in the attached press cuttings. Spread the word – let’s make this a big one.
