Balfour Beatty (Capenhurst Project 2017) - Martin Overy

-
Image
This is a call to any M&E worker on the project in 2017 who took part in the shop levy collection to support my blacklisting campaign.  At the time, an operative on the project called Martin Overy was sending me private messages via Facebook, accusing me of being a blacklister. Mr Overy's messages are self-explanatory, but state that he was responsible for the collection on the night shift.  The messages accused me of being a blacklister and appeared to allude that I was somewhat responsible for the suicide of blacklisted workers, further stating that I had "blood on my hands" in 2022. I have published screenshots of some of those messages below. These false allegations about being a blacklister were similar to others received from the likes of Tony Seaman and Frank Morris. Despite Mr Overy's view of me, the overall collection on the project was successful. I understand this was largely due to the support of union officials on the project who saw through the lies...

RITCHIE JAMES (UNITE) & THE DAVID CRAGGS BLACKLISTS

-
The question as to why Unite's Regional Secretary Ritchie James is threatening me with legal action on behalf of the construction company labour manager David Craggs (who compiled and distributed two new construction blacklists - The David Craggs Blacklists) remains unanswered. There are over 200 mechanical and electrical workers from Manchester and the North West on these new blacklists, which were compiled by Craggs on major projects such as The Manchester MRI, Beetham Tower and Media City between 2005 and 2010. Workers on those blacklists inform me that Craggs would brag about his blacklists and threaten certain workers with inclusion on them.  In the absence of an explanation, blacklisted workers can only presume that Mr Craggs has something over Mr James in respect of the trade union officials who were complicit in the blacklisting. Were these new blacklists compiled with the help of trade union officials? RITCHIE JAMES LETTER   More info on these blacklists c...

DAVID CRAGGS - MRI BLACKLISTS MEETING (18 NOV 2018)

-
The first meeting of blacklisted workers took place yesterday in Manchester bringing harrowing accounts from those affected. These were all too similar to those on the Consulting Association blacklist: Disputes over none payment of wages,  Being involved in trade union collections for blacklisted workers, Being asked to work in unsafe conditions,  Skilled tradesmen on long term unemployment benefit and, Being singled out and refused work. One worker had not even worked on the MRI or Beetham Tower projects and had only worked for Craggs on loan to Haden Young (a Balfour Beatty subsidiary and Consulting Association member) some years previous. The most disturbing account for me was that Craggs would openly threaten workers to their face with inclusion on his blacklists. A further meeting is planned for Sunday 2 December 2018 in Manchester. If you feel you may have been affected by blacklisting then please get in touch via alanwainwright1963@gmail.com The question...

DAVID CRAGGS - MRI & BEETHAM HILTON TOWER BLACKLISTS

-
Is what they can now be referred to as. The question of why Unite's Regional Secretary, Ritchie James is threatening me with legal action unless I remove Mr Craggs's name from my website remains unanswered.   Bent union officials. Buried the evidence back in 2006. Still covering up the cover up.

DAVID CRAGGS - MRI BLACKLISTS & THE CONSULTING ASSOCIATION

-
A significant breakthrough this afternoon, directly linking the new MRI blacklists to at least one Consulting Association member company, various recruitment agencies and one previously known prolific construction industry blacklisting manager. As more blacklisted workers from the MRI lists come forward, the pieces of this jigsaw are coming together nicely. The question of why Unite's Regional Secretary, Ritchie James is threatening me with legal action unless I remove Mr Craggs's name from my website remains unanswered. Bent union officials. Buried the evidence back in 2006. Still covering up the cover up.
