Show support for striking DWP G4S members

Security guards working in jobcentres across the UK are striking for 7 days in support of fair pay from 17 June and would appreciate support. 

The 200 PCS members are joining their comrades from GMB in taking action.

These members work for G4S on the DWP contract in jobcentres and DWP back-of-house areas providing essential security that assists in keeping DWP employees and claimants safe.

G4S, which turns over billions of pounds every year, is a minimum wage employer and continues to refuse to pay a decent pay increase to a group of workers, many of whom face violence in the workplace every working day.

We demand that G4S gets back round the table and starts to meaningfully address the chronic low pay experienced by a group of workers who put their bodies on the line every day to keep civil servants and the public safe.
