BLACKLIST Support Group (including 4 UNITE EC members) occupying
London offices of Skanska was just one of the highlights of the Day of
Action against Blacklisting which included protests against blacklisting
firms across the UK and ended in lobbies of parliament in Westminster
and Holyrood.

Every parliamentarian who attended the events at Westminster &
Holyrood, including John McDonnell, Richard Leonard, Jack Dromey, Chris
Stephens, Neil Findlay, Laura Piddock, Rebecca Long Bailey, Angela
Rayner, Louise Haig, Jon Ashworth, Chuka Umunna and many others publicly
called for 3 key demands:
- Full public inquiry into blacklisting
- Blacklisting to be made a criminal offence
- No publicly funded contracts for firms involved in blacklisting
Great contributions from Tony Sweeney, Paul Filby and Shrewsbury
campaigners to keep the MPs and unions on their toes. As acknowledged by
Gail Cartmail, UNITE AGS, nothing will ever be achieved unless the rank
and file keep pushing for it.
