EmailConstruction union GMB released a map today showing the extent of the scandal of blacklisting in the industry.
The union said it hoped the map would help identify the 3,200 workers whose names were on the Consulting Association blacklist found in a 2009 raid.
It's the latest step in the union's bid to gain compensation for the victims.
The map shows the number on the list ranged from just one in Warwickshire, the Isle of Wight, East Lothian, Northern Ireland, Bath and Orkney, to 454 in London, 183 in Manchester and 173 in Merseyside.
