Blacklisted tells the controversial story of the illegal strategies that transnational construction companies resorted to in an attempt to keep union activists away. This is the story of a bitter struggle in which collusion with the police and security services resulted in victimization, violence and unemployment with terrible effects on families and communities. Drawing on real-life accounts from the workers, the book tells the story of ordinary working people taking on some of the biggest and most powerful transnational companies in the world.
