GMB has been working with G4S and others to help our members secure employment after the games as GMB very much want to see a positive employment legacy from the Games. GMB, the UK union for security staff, issued a press statement on July 12th in response to media calls regarding security at Olympic sites. Martin Smith, GMB National Organiser, said "GMB, which has 8,000 members working for G4S on the Olympics project, has been committed to assist G4S and other partner organisations to ensure that every effort is made to make the Games a success and a source of national pride. 

GMB has been working with the company for some time on Olympic project and will continue to work with them and others in the future to help our members secure employment after the games. GMB very much want to see a positive employment legacy from the Games."

Contractual issues between G4S and LOCOG are matters for them and GMB and UNI are not able to comment on these.
