Security guards providing services at government buildings in Region Six are calling for an intervention to ensure that payments owed to them for the year so far are released by their employer, Integrated Security Services.
At the end of last year, the private firm took over the contract for the provision of security services for government buildings within the region and retained many of the guards who had been working with the previous contractor, Home Safe Security Services.
However, several guards, who requested anonymity after they said a recent report by a newscast on their plight resulted in them receiving threats of termination of their services, told Sunday Stabroek that some of them have received partial payments, while others have received nothing so far. They complained that while they await payment, their bills continue to pile up.
