Eight of ten security officers in commercial office buildings throughout the city of Los Angeles are in favor of forming a union with SEIU, the nation’s largest security officers union. The officers’ union effort eventually would cover approximately 10,000 commercial office building security officers throughout LA County.
L.A. security officers and a coalition of African-American leaders including the Rev. Jesse Jackson called on six of southern California’s leading real estate companies to respect the right of security officers to form a union.
Hundred billboards featuring security officers are now up all over South L.A., and radio ads featuring Jesse Jackson are running on PWR 106, KJLH, the Beat, and other stations. Every day more people are learning about the low wages, unaffordable health care, and other conditions that security officers are fighting to improve.
