Security Workers Manifesto
As security companies rake in super profits from contracts all over the country, the workers have been left behind. Many are on sub-par wages, often even below the low ‘living wage’ number calculated by the Low Pay Commission.
The Independent Workers Union, in consultation with its security worker members, is presenting this manifesto to all security workers.
We are asking YOU to pledge yourself to supporting the Manifesto.
