Employment Relations Act 1999 (Blacklists) Regulations 2010

The Employment Relations Act 1999 (Blacklists) Regulations 2010 (SI 2010/493) is a UK labour law regulation which penalises a practice of noting union members, and potentially leads to criminal sanctions for employers and agencies who do so.

In 2009, the Information Commission's Office found that a group called the "Consulting Association" had compiled lists of trade unionists to exclude people from employment in the building industry. John McDonnell described this as "one of the worst ever cases of organised abuses of human rights in the UK". It resulted in the 2010 Regulations specifying the wrong and penalties.
