THE CLASS STRUGGLE TODAY

The notion that we live in a modern freedom loving society wherein the owning class and the the working class co-operate without nasty out-dated class conflicts has been shown as a complete nonsense. Britain's biggest construction companies finally admitted that they used  a secret industry blacklist to vet workers as they announced the creation of  a compensation scheme.  'Unions believe construction companies face paying hundreds of millions of pounds to the 3,213 workers whose details were kept on a database kept by a shadowy organisation called The Consulting Association.  The information was used by 44 companies to vet new recruits and keep out trade union activists or those who had raised concerns about health and safety.'
