Unions welcome blacklist action

Unions have issued statements welcoming government plans to outlaw the blacklisting of trade union members. Dave Prentis, general secretary of UNISON, said: “UNISON applauds government moves to deal with this despicable practice. There is no place in a modern society for allowing employers to discriminate against workers just because they belong to a trade union.” The government has launched a consultation exercise on the proposed new law. The consultation document can be accessed at: www.berr.gov.uk/consultations/page52145.html
