What are your thoughts on this for members of the Security Industry?

Stuart. IMO, this is a scam. The whole issue of the SIU was done to death quite some time ago. If you remember the Turk threatened legal action against CPW, me and others :) It stopped when I got a lawyer to contact him and demand proof of what he was claiming. They were saying they were a not for profit and they weren't. Originally they were calling themselves Security Industry Union. The SIA also took exception to the design of their original website as it was a virtual clone of the SIA's website. :)

They named and shamed quite a few!!!

I think the whole SIU thing has been to death. Regardless of what anyone thinks, people are signing up. You can't protect people from themselves. There really is one born every minute
 

I remember SC, I see them on FB quite a lot and wondered if they had improved their act yet - maybe not!
