Construction Workers Win Payouts For 'blacklisting'
http://
Justice at last.
"Howard Beckett, the union's legal services director, said the companies involved "had to be dragged kicking and screaming to make unprecedented admissions of guilt" in October last year"
Why is that cases like this take so long to be settled ?

I guess it is the problem of proving it.
Whilst I agree on some of the things it says : In some cases, the blacklist included details of worker's political views, competence, and trade union activities
Surely blacklisting because someone is incompetent on a building site is very sensible for the safety of all if nothing else. Also if trade union activities are carried out during the working day then that too may be a problem.

YMB....these men were not blacklisted because they were in incompetent, but because they dared organise and recruit for their Unions.
" But it [ the Construction Industry ] accepts that for decades firms were involved in a secret vetting system which infringed workers' rights to confidentiality, privacy, reputation and data protection"
The Industry is banged to rights it would seem....what a pity it has taken so long for the Industry to admit that they were wrong.

nope read the article and you will find they were blacklisted unlawfully against the data protection act for the union activities
Initially denied they held the files and were raided eventually ( after a few years ) by the Info Commissioner
// Also if trade union activities are carried out during the working day then that too may be a problem. //
come on ! youre making this up as you go along
this is a guaranteed right under the employment acts

Oh, right mikey
the case was against the users of the blacklist
the blacklist company which held the files must have gone under
and the amount claimed £75m would make anyone defend it
I am not certain this was an insured loss
I can imagine a lot of insurance companies would say
" you did what ? well you are certainly not covered for that "
