• Six months after promising to "name and shame" Britain's worst haulage bosses, the TUC has abandoned the idea.
The TUC decided to publish a list at the end of last year, after running a hotline for victims of bullying bosses.
This revealed that truck drivers, care assistants and security, guards were three of the country's most exploited groups of workers.
Despite postponing the list's publication twice, the TUC still insisted that the naming and shaming would go ahead, blaming the delays on lengthy company investigations. But now it has admitted that it will not publish a list, preferring instead to co-operate with a TV documentary which will expose some of the worst examples of ill treatment highlighted by the hotline. But the documentary will not include any haulage firms.
