Job centre security guards strike for fourth day

THE government is being urged to help resolve a dispute as more than 1,000 job centre security guards are due to strike for a fourth day today.
Members of the GMB employed by security outsourcing giant G4S will walk out; the union says 90 per cent of the guards are paid the minimum wage despite the demands of their job.
The GMB has called on the Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) to step in ahead of the next strike dates on May 28 and 29.
