Default Blacklist for the accused (not the convicted)

BBC NEWS | Magazine | Bust-up with the boss?


Quote:
Workers accused of theft or damage could soon find themselves blacklisted on a register to be shared among employers. It will be good for profits but campaigners say innocent people could find it impossible to get another job.
To critics it sounds like a scenario from some Orwellian nightmare.
An online database of workers accused of theft and dishonesty ¿ regardless of whether they have been convicted of any crime ¿ which bosses can access when vetting potential employees. But this is no dystopian fantasy. Later this month, the National Staff Dismissal Register (NSDR) is expected to go live.
I hope people put on this list sue if they haven't been convicted of anything.

Matt, I'm with you 100% on that. It's a disgrace. Not all employers are honest and some are downright crooked.

Such a thing has been around in some industries within the for the past 25 years, especially for people involved in certain political activities.

What's the betting that everyone the powers that be don't like (that's most of the folks on this forum, then) somehow find their way onto this list?

Someone was saying that you could have your details removed under the DPA 1998?
