A question about : Sia licence charges

What are our rights us in the security industry of paying this stealth tax just to be able to work.
As we are one of the lowest paid industries i think this is an unfair tax and must be stopped immediatly also refund what we have paid in the past since 2006

Best answers:

  • If the security industry had controlled their members and their excessive zeal in the past then there wouldn't have been a need to licence people to enable traceability
    You reap what you sow.
  • STILL AN UNFAIR CHARGE NOT OUR FAULT IF MANAGEMENT AND OWNERS OF SECURITY GOT IT WRONG WHY SHOULD THE GAURDS PAY FOR THEY'RE MISTAKES
    UNFAIR ALL ROUND WANT THIS STOPPED NOW AND REFUNDS FOR ALL GUARDS
  • A lot of the guards were the cause not the management
  • And how do you think you're going to get it "stopped"? Even if the licence system is scrapped, there is no chance of payments made in accordance with legislation being refunded.
  • Your rights are
    1. Continue paying the subscription/license fee
    2. Find another job which doesn't involve having a SIA license.
  • I see i'm alone on this quest are there not any more security on this site stand up and be counted
  • I would like martin lewis to look into this if its possible
