ISS and G4S are two of the three companies that have signed Global Agreements with UNI Property Services.



Private equity firms leverage enormous amounts of capital during these buy-outs, key principals in the private equity firms walk away with huge profits and average workers in the company often face the risk of job loss through down-sizing or face pay and benefit reductions.



EU regulations provide the right of impacted unions to have notice of company transitions and an opportunity to engage with the company over these ownership changes.
