SIPTU is the main trade union representing private security workers in Ireland. At present over 5,000 security workers are members of our Union. We are employed in different sectors of the industry - in large, medium and small contract security  companies. At company level we have established recognition agreements which give SIPTU the right to represent our members’ interests in respect of pay and conditions of employment and work problems in general.

At industry level, SIPTU has become a strong voice promoting the health, safety and training needs of our members and the professionalisation of the private security  industry. We represent the wider interests of  security  workers on the Security Industry Joint Labour Committee and on the Board of the Private Security Authority  - the industry's statutory  regulatory body.  As an organising Union we are actively engaged in organising workers in the non-union security companies.
