POLITICIANS and trade unionists have paid tribute to Britain's “most blacklisted construction worker” Brian Higgins, who died at the weekend.
Mr Higgins, who was from Glasgow but lived in Northampton, was an activist and national figure in former construction union Ucatt, now a part of Unite.
He was one of the major figures in the fight against the blacklisting of trade unionists by construction companies.
