Global security company, Group Four Securicor which has already attracted a lot of international criticism for its poor treatment of workers will find itself in worse trouble after a group of eminent persons made their findings about them after a visit to Southern Africa.

SATAWU, COSATU and the international delegation will hold a joint press conference at the Parktonian hotel in Johannesburg today at 11.30am.

According to their statement, a statement of their findings will be read, accompanied by a course of action to be taken both by our fellow trade unions as well as our international counterparts.

The forum will also be used to formally introduce the Legal Fnd for abused African workers.

The international delegation will compromise of academics from the London School of Economics as well as trade union leaders from the US and the UK as well as other social groupings from Europe and the America.
