Blacklisting demo success in Birmingham

Cheryl Pidgeon, UCATT Regional Secretary with Rob Johnston TUC Midlands Regional Secretary protesting in Birmingham today

Today's demonstration outside the offices of Sir Robert McAlpine in Birmingham took place in torrential rain - but protesters from UCATT, the TUC and NUJ turned out to make their point. The issue of Blacklisting workers is rising up the political agenda and needs to be scrutinised at the highest level. Unions are calling on the government to investigate this scandal - and make sure it never happens again.
