😡 Blacklisting workers for union activities is despicable.
Those who do it are breaking the law and must be held to account.

This unsuccessful attempt by BAE to prevent a lawful strike will have severely damaged the goodwill it has with its workforce.
BAE is a £multi-billion company making record profits. It now needs to come back to the negotiating table with an acceptable offer for striking workers in its Air division.
