Protect the MoD Guards

Campaign page to stop 'OMEC' and the erosion of terms and conditions in the MOD Guard Service.

[Protect the MoD Guards @UniteMoDGuards]

.@mod_dio @DefenceHQ are threatening their entire workforce with OMEC contracts. Forcing workers to accept drastic cuts to pay, conditions and safety through the imposition of a two-tier workforce. It's time to STOP and think again. #ProtectTheMoDGuards https://t.co/CIc0fwk4uo RT

Solidarity to our colleagues taking industrial action!

[Sharon Graham @UniteSharon]

We fully support our members on the Clyde who are taking industrial action against cuts to fire crews. We won't stand by whilst @Capita_CFR compromises safety as part of a cost saving exercise. We will ensure that our members have all the resources needed. #JobsPayConditions

[Protect the MoD Guards @UniteMoDGuards]

Thank you @JackDromeyMP for pressing @DefenceHQ on OMEC, and asking the tough questions that they do not have answers to.

#NOtoOMEC - there is too much at stake.

Whilst the National Threat level has increased to SEVERE, the security of our Defence Establishments, its workforce and wider Communities are being put at serious risk by the negligence of @DefenceHQ and their failure to recognise the the full impact of OMEC.

Still waiting for answers @BWallaceMP.....

Thank you @StephenMorganMP & @grahamemorris for once again pressing @BWallaceMP on OMEC and the serious issues these contracts have raised. We look forward to reading his answers. #NOtoOMEC #DefenceJobs

[Workers Unite @WorkersUnite_]

.@unitetheunion members are urging @BWallaceMP #defencesecretary to take the threat of OMEC seriously. Changes to guard's contracts will have a serious impact on their health and wellbeing and may well lead to a National security risk. Say #NotoOMEC

The security of military bases is of paramount importance and OMEC contracts undermine this. Here's what an OMEC guard had to say ⬇️⬇️⬇️

[Unite Scotland @UniteScotland]

Unite firefighters at HMNB Clyde have been taking action since September 16th after 15% of specialist fire safety crew were cut.

Safety is the number 1 priority for our members, & replacements being brought in to cover industrial action must be trained, & trained properly.

[Protect the MoD Guards @UniteMoDGuards]

This is the personal cost of #OMEC.

@DefenceHQ and @mod_dio must stop burying their heads in the sand. This cannot go on, the stakes are too high.

''@DefenceHQ have told you that they are not looking to outsource their guards. However, I would suggest there is potential evidence that shows that is exactly what they are moving towards. The evidence I suggest we look at is the OMEC contract.''

Thank you @AnumQaisarJaved for supporting the Mod Guard Service and signing EDM125. Together we say #NOtoOMEC.

Thank you @PeterGrantMP for signing EDM125 and saying #NOtoOMEC 👊✅

[Protect the MoD Guards @UniteMoDGuards]

Today our leading reps met @StephenMorganMP from @UKLabour, @ShadowDefence. We look forward to working with you to put a stop to OMEC. We must protect the jobs, pay and conditions of the prestigious MoD Guard Service. #NOtoOMEC

[Protect the MoD Guards @UniteMoDGuards]

🚨FATIGUE🚨 is a workplace hazard that poses a real risk to a workforce, especially for those working in a security environment.

Sign the petition today, OMEC guards must stand together against disastrous OMEC rosters ⏩ https://t.co/F3DloBOPBO

[Protect the MoD Guards @UniteMoDGuards]

The MGS keep military bases across the country secure. As key workers on the frontline, disrupting shift patterns, uncertainty around rest days and overworking will have disastrous consequences. OMEC guards - sign the petition on rosters TODAY: https://t.co/6EWyaoqlsr #NOtoOMEC

[Protect the MoD Guards @UniteMoDGuards]

Longer hours, lower pay & increased health and safety risk. Would @mod_dio management accept what they are enforcing on workers?

💡 We think not!

[Unite Scotland @UniteScotland]

Solidarity to our members at Capita Fire & Rescue who stepped up their action at Coulport & Faslane today with a 6hr strike.
Capita won the contract from the MoD in 2020 & cut 15% of specialist fire crew; our members deserve guarantees of safety with these reduced numbers.

[Protect the MoD Guards @UniteMoDGuards]

Solidarity with our colleagues on the Clyde, as this week they take industrial action over concerns for their safety & the safety of the public.

OMEC has serious health & wellbeing implications for individual employees and, critically, for the functionality of the MGS as a guard service. If you are an OMEC guard, sign the petition TODAY. It's time for action on disastrous OMEC rosters: https://t.co/6EWyaoqlsr #NOtoOMEC

[Protect the MoD Guards @UniteMoDGuards]

OMECs poorly designed shift-working arrangements & long working hours do not balance the demands of work with time for rest and recovery. This can result in fatigue, accidents, injuries & ill health. It’s time for @mod_dio to get back around the table. This can’t go on. #NOtoOMEC
