At a Workplace Relations Commission hearing into employment claims against BGS Security Ltd, Tesleem Abdulkareem’s union representative described allegations of unpaid wages and discrimination. The firm was accused at the hearing of exploiting migrant workers; these were allegations and submissions, not findings in the reported hearing.

Abdulkareem’s case was that his work as a security guard at a Dublin convenience store ended after a dispute over the security contract, when he was told to go home and heard no further from his supervisor. SIPTU also alleged unpaid notice and leave entitlements and racial discrimination. The hearing closed without a reported decision on his complaint.
