VICTORY FOR SECURITY OFFICERS
Security Officers buck trends, winning wage and job stability guarantees in a tough economy.

Security officers in suburban King County joined their fellow officers in downtown Seattle and Bellevue by ratifying a historic first-ever, areawide collective bargaining agreement with their Employers: ABM, AlliedBarton, Northwest Protective, Securitas, and Star Protection on Saturday, March 21st.
 
Security January 2008 action
In an economy where nothing is guaranteed anymore, security officers working in suburban King County were able to win guarantees that few other workers have, such as:

  • Guaranteed raises of at least 2.2% each year for the next three years. No wage freezes or take backs.
  • Guaranteed access to full-time work. No getting moved to part-time.
  • Guaranteed job security based on their seniority with the company.  No playing favorites with layoffs.
  • Guaranteed a place at the table to discuss new training programs with the company. No glass ceilings on career advancement.
  • Guaranteed 8 paid holidays a year, plus 1 paid personal day and paid vacations.

"I feel proud about ratifying this great first contract," stated Mike Ferard, security officer working for Securitas. "Guaranteed raises, job security in these tough economic times, and a path to more affordable health care will help us all move forward."


Security Officers are Winning
Together we have built a strong voice to bring more professionalism and respect to private security by improving wages and benefits, increasing training, and developing career opportunities for security officers.
