OLYMPICS SITE PICKETED:

END THE BLACKLIST!

Thursday 7 April

On the morning of 7 April, the Olympics site was picketed by workers from across the trade union movement in support of victimised RMT member Frank Morris. Frank was sacked from his job by the company Daltech after blowing the whistle on the use of an illegal blacklist to disbar trade unionists from getting work on the site. This is the second time in a month that the Olympics site has been picketed and traffic onto the site was backed up from 7:00am, with articulated vehicles backed up and forced to turn round. The companies involved in the Olympics project need to realise that they will continue to be the target of protest until Frank is reinstated and trade unionists right to work, organise and recruit is respected on the site.

NSSN supporters can download the Blacklist Support Group leaflet about Frank's case here, and we encourage all of you to raise this issue in your union branch and do all you can to help build solidarity for this victimised worker. A report of the last Olympics site protest can be read here.
