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 Defence Infrastructure Organisation to get back around the table. This can’t go on. #NOtoOMEC

Solidarity with our colleagues on the Clyde, as this week they take industrial action over concerns for their safety & the safety of the public. helensburghadvertiser.co.uk/news/19655407.…

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.

Longer hours, lower pay & increased health and safety risk. Would Defence Infrastructure Organisation management accept what they are enforcing on workers? 💡 We think not! Get involved in the campaign to #ProtectTheModGuards today, DM us. #NOtoOMEC

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: surveymonkey.co.uk/r/OMECpetition #NOtoOMEC

''Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 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.'' committees.parliament.uk/oralevidence/2…

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.

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

.Unite the union: join a union 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

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 Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 and their failure to recognise the the full impact of OMEC. #NOtoOMEC
