Support Stronger Standards for Private Security

As security officers, we are the “first” first responders during catastrophes, standing on the front lines every day to keep our communities safe.

Yet too often private security contractors, aiming to keep costs at a minimum, put officers on the job quickly and cut corners when it comes to the training we need to keep people and property secure. Lack of adequate training combined with low pay and benefits has led to incredible turnover in private security at rates that rival the fast food industry at 300%.

That’s why over 30,000 security officers have joined SEIU. Together we have built a strong voice to bring more. professionalism and respect to private security. SEIU security officers have won:

• Training programs covering issues that range from anti-terrorism classes with the FBI to basic computer skills training.
• Guaranteed wage increases, paid sick leave and paid vacation.
• Affordable healthcare for ourselves and our families.
• Secure retirement benefits including 401K and pension plans.
