Origin: Australia (Circa 1925)
History: The Australian Labor Movement (Unions) required legal financial membership of the appropriate union. They would issue a membership card printed and signed in black ink.
Usage: Unions would place work bans upon various employers or work sites where the employer used non-union labor/practices. They would also place bans for political reasons. The term "black ban" means Union members not allowed to work for or at an employer or work site. The term is non-racist.
