So it seems a former employer can now balcklist you and make it almost
mpossible for you to get work in the future, whether or not the allegations
are true.
This is bad news for workers as bad employers will abuse the system and
threaten workers with being blacklist, thus never working again.
And look at some of the employers using the list, such as Harrods, owned by
Mouhammed Al-Fayed. who was refused British citizenship on the grounds that
he was "not of good character". However he will stll be able to ensure that
you never work again.
He had few scrupples about making false allegations such as his claim that
Princess Dianna was murdered by Prince Phillip and MI5. He also employed a
drunk as a driver.
The biggest criminals in the workplace are the employers, not the employees.
This will allow then to threaten and bully their employees even more.
