SUMMARY:Blacklisted book event\, Edinburgh (1pm)
DESCRIPTION:Blacklisted tells the controversial story of the illegal strategies that transnational construction companies resorted to in their attempt to keep union activists away from their places of work. This is a story of a bitter struggle\, in which collusion with the police and security services resulted in victimization\, violence and unemployment\, with terrible effects on families and communities. \nDrawing on first-hand accounts of the workers\, Blacklisted reveals how\, when major construction projects were unionized\, those involved were unlawfully victimized. From the building sites to the High Court\, this is a story of ordinary working people taking on some of the most powerful transnational companies in the world. \nThe book also reveals how blacklisting extended beyond construction activists to environmental campaigners\, journalists\, politicians and academics. And it adds an international perspective with related stories from America and Europe. \nHear direct from author Dave Smith about his experiences of blacklisting\, the search for answers and the fight for justice. \nYou can buy the book at this talk or get it online direct from the publishers. \nShare this:FacebookTwitterTumblrEmailMoreLinkedInRedditPinterestPocketPrint
