Blacklisted workers back Labour’s manifesto

BLACKLISTED workers have “wholeheartedly” endorsed Labour’s pledges to end blacklisting and other injustices against workers.

The Blacklist Support Group (BSG) has welcomed the party’s manifesto commitments to hold public inquiries into the history of blacklisting and to ensure that all future undercover policing requires judicial permission.

It has also welcomed Labour’s plans to ensure that bereaved families and survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire will have full confidence in the second phase of the inquiry and to release all papers relating to the Shrewsbury 24 and Cammell Laird 37 miscarriages of justice into the public domain.
