Security Officers Reach Ratified Agreement on Historic Union Contract in Los Angeles
SEIU Security Officers United in Los Angeles Local 2006 announced Jan. 26th they have achieved a ratified agreement on their first union contract. The contract will be the best-ever of its kind in the country, raising total compensation—wages and healthcare—by nearly 40 percent for more than 4,000 hard-working Angelenos.
"We're all thrilled," said Michael Johnson, security officer on the bargaining committee. "Finally I can take care of my family like a man, and do for them how I've always dreamed, just to give them opportunities that I never had." Michael Johnson, like many security officers, works two full time jobs just to make ends meet.
