Blacklisting to be Outlawed 
Department for Business, Innovation and Skills – 02/12/2009
Following revelations of the blacklisting of construction workers, the government has announced that it will introduce new rules banning the practice of blacklisting workers for their trade union membership or activities.
This announcement was made together with the publication of a government response to a consultation on new regulations to prevent blacklisting. The new regulations, if they are implemented, will:
- make it unlawful for organisations to refuse employment or sack individuals as a result of appearing on a blacklist;
- make it unlawful for employment agencies to refuse to provide a service on the basis of appearing on a blacklist; and
- enable individuals or unions to pursue compensation or solicit action against those who compile, distribute or use blacklists.
Commenting, Employment Relations Minister Lord Young said “There is already legal protection against the misuse of people’s personal details. We will now strengthen the law by introducing new regulations to outlaw the compilation, dissemination and use of blacklists.”
