“Major companies which set up and funded a secret blacklist to deny work to thousands of trade unionists will escape prosecution, it emerged today. A judge fined a private investigator who operated the covert blacklist but said he was not the only person responsible but was financed by big ‘high street’ companies. Major firms in the construction industry will be officially warned that they will be prosecuted if they set up a new blacklist.”
