Response to blacklisting accusations

Response to blacklisting accusations

Along with other companies in the construction industry, over the past few years Carillion has been accused by campaigners of being involved in the illegal blacklisting of workers. This is not true.

This area of the Carillion website has been set up to:

• Explain that accusations that Carillion is involved in illegal blacklisting are not true
• Provide the facts about Carillion's past actions - what did and did not happen, and why
• Show visitors that Carillion is serious about Health and Safety and provide information about its policies and track record

Please take the time to look around this part of the website. Further relevant information and materials about this issue will be uploaded here when appropriate.

Carillion is a values-led organisation and we take real pride in our work. In particular, we take our commitment to transparency, openness, and safety extremely seriously. We wanted to put this information online to set the record straight. This is because others have been distorting the truth about Carillion and its involvement with this issue.

Contrary to what has been claimed in public, Carillion is not anti-union and has never been part of any anti-union conspiracy. We have national recognition arrangements in place with a number of unions, including UNISON, Unite, RMT, and the TSSA, and enjoy constructive working relationships with them.

Carillion does not condone or engage in blacklisting and takes very seriously any accusation that it does so.
