That was the unanimous cry from security officers of G4S Secure Solutions (Barbados) Ltd, who issued the ultimatum to their employer following a more than two-hour closed-door meeting on Wednesday evening at the Barbados Workers’ Union, Solidarity House, St Michael headquarters.

President of G4S/BWU division Ormond Mayers told the newspaper security officers had given the security company until the end of the month to deal with the issues.
