British Workers Win Millions in Blacklisting Settlement

British workers who claimed they were blacklisted by construction companies have won over $14 million in compensation after a legal battle ended in a settlement. Defendant construction firms reached a settlement with union Unite that will split over $14 million among 256 workers.

Workers claimed they were not hired for construction work based on political views, competence and trade union activities.

In April, two other unions reached a separate settlement with construction companies over the blacklisting scandal.
