Well what else would you call it?..
'The police and Special Branch infiltrated trade unions and provided information to the construction industry about a blacklist of workers, campaigners have been told.
The revelation was made in a letter in response to a complaint from the Blacklist Support Group to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
“Allegation: Police, including Special Branches, supplied information that appeared on the blacklist, funded by the country’s major construction firms, the Consulting Association and/or other agencies, in breach of the Data Protection Act 1998," the letter says.
“The report concludes that, on the balance of probabilities, the allegation that the police or Special Branches supplied information is ‘proven’.”
A blacklist of construction workers was exposed in 2009 with the discovery that an organisation called the Consulting Association kept secret files on thousands of trade union members,
often for raising concerns about safety on building sites. Workers on the illegal database were denied employment on construction projects.
