Economic League relaunched
artdoc July=1994

The Economic League, the rightwing employment vetting agency, is
reported to have been relaunched under a new name, a year after
it disbanded. When it folded the card files that it held on
thousands of trade unionists and labour activists were retained
by their director of information, Jack Winder, and director-
general, Stan Hardy. In May 1993 the two men registered a new
company, Caprim Ltd, which offers services identical to those of
the Economic League. These include tracking down left-wing
activists, vetting potential employees and identifying
environmental and animal rights activists.
