Security guards, join the union for security guards and fight injustice!

You deserve dignity, EQUALITY AND respect

Are you fed up with working long hours for low pay, with little support or recognition?

Many security guards face dangerous conditions, lack of sick pay, and exploitation by outsourcing companies.

But you don’t have to accept this and if you want to fight for better wages and conditions, join the UVW union today.

TOGETHER WE CAN WIN!

Through legal and industrial action, UVW has won big for members in pay rises, by saving jobs, recovering stolen wages, winning compensation for injuries and discrimination and fighting unfair treatment and exploitation.

FIGHTING INSTITUTIONAL RACISM

UVW is at the forefront of challenging institutional racism in the outsourced security sector, a deeply unequal industry that overwhelmingly relies on the labour of Black, brown and migrant workers while denying them the dignity, rights and conditions afforded to their in-house counterparts.

UVW continues to fight back with strikes, legal action and organising power, demanding full equality, insourcing and an end to the structural racism baked into the outsourcing model in the public and private sectors; from London’s top three museums (Natural History, Science and V&A museums) and hospitals, to government buildings.

We were the first union in the UK to end outsourcing for cleaners in higher education and the NHS, bringing over 300 cleaners in-house at the London School of Economics and 1200 facilities workers at NHS Imperial Trust. These wins ended decades of institutional racism and put millions back in the pockets of workers – where it belongs. And we are bringing the fight to the security sector too.
