Findlay tables motion to recognise ‘historic progression’ made in fight against blacklisting
Neil Findlay MSP

LABOUR MSP Neil Findlay has tabled a motion in Holyrood to welcome the “historic progression” made in the fight against the blacklisting of trade unionists.

Mr Findlay asked yesterday that the Scottish Parliament recognise the recent Creedon report, noting that the blacklisting of union activists has “destroyed lives, families and reputations for decades.”

It also congratulates anti-blacklisting campaigners and trade unionists for fighting for the workers who were persecuted for being union members.
