Small wage for risking life

THE EDITOR: It seems that despite the increase in deaths of security guards, the government still hasn’t addressed the wage situation, or have they? Will there ever be fair wages for underpaid security personnel? Or will we continue to be disrespected and ignored by the government and businesses that we protect and risk our lives for?

People consider security to be one of the lowest occupations in the country and so they disrespect us this way. In truth and in fact, some security “guards” are intelligent individuals who seek an honest dollar because there are not enough jobs out there for people, so I am asking the population to respect the security industry and its personnel for the risk they perform for your welfare and personal comfort.
