Hello everyone my name is Marcia Durkey I work for Securitas Security Services Ltd, 20yrs and 3mnths of service.

I am the National and EWC Rep for Securitas also the Equality Officer for the GMB London Security G43 Branch.

Me, being as a branch official: I believe in equality is the heart of the union, breaking discriminatory barriers, implementing race and gender balance and ensuring not only in workplaces in branches, SOG’s and in ones personal life, everyone must be treated fairly, with this I always make an effect to recruit more ethnic minority women, to join GMB and support the ethnic minority women who are already members.

Becoming a branch official is not only interesting and challenging, you will receive complete support from the GMB. The stronger we are together when it comes to having our voice heard, is the more likely for us to win negotiations and campaigns.

Over all being a branch official is very rewarding.
