This book should be read by anyone with an interest in holding contractor corporations and the state to account. The authors show the conspiracy that existed to prevent building worker trade union and political activists from standing up for workplace rights enshrined in law. The consequences of this for those targeted?... blacklisting, unemployment and personal and family hardship. This is the reality of speaking out in the construction industry for fair play. This happened. It still does.

Any trade unionist or Labour Party member who hasn't yet read Blacklisted: The Secret War Between Big Business and Union Activists by Dave Smith and Phil Chamberlain is missing out on the perfect explanation about the battle this General Election represents. It's them against us - as it's always been! It's about the rich trying to squeeze every ounce of labour from us for the cheapest price possible and to achieve that they need no or at least ineffective trade unions. Read the book! Organise!
