SUMMARY:Blacklisting\, Bullying and Blowing the Whistle conference
DESCRIPTION:This two day conference\, organised by Blacklist Support Group (BSG) and the Work & Employment Research Unit (WERU) at the University of Greenwich supported by New Internatinalist and Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust\, will reveal and discuss the hidden injuries of the modern workplace which are often neglected by mainstream media and academia. \nA key aim will be to explore the different and interlocking ways in which surveillance and intensified control operate; in the workplace\, in employment and in relation to community campaigns and civil rights activism. \nPlenary sessions and workshops will consider the blacklisting and victimisation of activists and the treatment of whistleblowers\, who have both highlighted corporate malpractice in the private sector and failures in public service provision. They will also consider the modern workplace tyranny of performance management where workers are bullied by intense monitoring and measurement of their work\, with potentially discriminatory effects on disabled\, Black and Minority Ethnic\, migrant\, women and older and younger workers. \nThe conference brings together academics\, politicians\, lawyers and activists with a view to inputting into the formulation of a programme of policy and action that can restore workplace rights and fairness at work. \nSpeakers include: \nJohn McDonnell MP – Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer\nJohn Hendy QC – Institute of Employment Rights (IER)\nHelen Steel – blacklisted McLibel activist\, Police Spies Out of Lives\nGail Cartmail – Assistant General Secretary\, UNITE the union\nRoger McKenzie – Assistant General Secretary\, UNISON\nDonna Guthrie & Zita Holbourne – Black Activists Rising Against Cuts (BARAC)\nProfessor Sian Moore – University of Greenwich (WERU)\nProfessor Keith Ewing – Kings College London (IER)\nProfessor Phil Taylor – University of Strathclyde\nPhil Chamberlain – author ‘Blacklisted’\, University of West of England\nShamik Dutta – Bhatt Murphy\, solicitors for victims of undercover policing\nDave Smith – Blacklist Support Group \nWhen \nFriday 16th September – Saturday 17th September 2016\nVenue \nUniversity of Greenwich\, Stephen Lawrence Building\, Old Royal Naval College\, 30 Park Row\, London SE10 9LS. \nProgramme \nThe conference programme will be available on the event page.\nSocial Events \nFriday 16th September – Blacklisting Victory Party held at Students Union Greenwich (Cooper Building\, King William Walk SE10 9JH).
