Is There a Blackball List?

We are often asked is there a blackball list. This goes back decades. My father was a maritime lawyer in New Orleans. He was hearing about it 40 years ago. To our knowledge, there is no list of blackballed employees. We have represented several individuals who have successfully handled their cases, they’ve settled the Jones Act cases, have received the treatment they need, they have gone back to work in the offshore oil and gas industry. There is no blackball list. You can return to work after your Jones Act case.
