Working people are tired of hearing about โrecord profitsโ while they fight for scraps and struggle to make ends meet.
Working people are hungry for change and real financial stability, and a union contract is how to make that happen! kiowacountypress.net/contentโฆ

14 months after being tackled and pepper sprayed for observing an ICE raid, David Huerta is vindicated.
This attempt to weaponize the justice system against anyone who dares to defend immigrant workers collapsed because the truth, and the videos, don't lie.
To every worker, every immigrant, everyone whoโs ever been targeted: now is the time to keep organizing.

The UC Berkeley Labor Center conducted a national study and found that the demands of security officers have grown, yet the conditions under which officers work have not kept pace with those demands. Itโs time that we #StandforSecurity.
ALT The UC Berkeley Labor Center has conducted a nationwide study on the state of private security workers. whatโs clear is that Security officers are among the largest frontline workforces in the United States, yet among the least protected. it is past time that we #standforsecurity

THIS is what we mean when we say weโre worth more. Our labor is worth more than a parking spot, and itโs why weโre seeing working people across industries go on strike or organize a union to demand better pay!

Security officers deserve to come home safe after their shift. Thatโs why Local 1 Chicago member leaders have traveled to California to stand in solidarity with @seiuusww security officers fighting to raise industry standards on training and safety. #StandForSecurity #SB1203

Security officers in NYC who DONโT have a union often have their lives upended by last minute schedule changes. (The NYC Fair Workweek Law does not apply to most security officers.)
ย
100+ NYC officers who work for Elite Investigations have signed a petition demanding that the responsibilities of their profession be matched with respect, STABILITY, and fair compensation!
ย
32BJ SEIU security members in NYC have fair scheduling protections in their union contract that require employers to offer consistent schedules.

It's #MayDay! Hundreds of @BostonLogan workers & allies are in East Boston as the Coalition of Logan Airport Workers (CLAW). The new coalition of 10 unions reps thousands of airport workers, from pilots & flight attendants to baggage handlers, cleaners, & food service workers.

We're outside #SCOTUS today to #ProtectTPS! The vast majority of those losing work permits & protections are Black & brown. This is intentional, designed to expand mass deportation. Its effects would go far beyond family separation, it would hurt all workers & weaken the economy.

Undervalued and underpaid. CA's 186,000 private security guards manage conflicts, respond to emergencies & face serious physical risks, even deathโoften without adequate pay, benefits, or training. Read our new factsheet: laborcenter.berkeley.edu/demโฆ
ALT A security guard stands in front of a cityscape with modern skyscrapers under a clear blue sky. Text reads: California's private security industry pays low wages, has weak labor standards and has gotten little policy attention. The vast majority of these underpaid security officers are people of color. Check out the UC Berkeley Labor Centerโs New Factsheet: laborcenter.berkeley.edu

32BJ security officer Aland Etienne put his life on the line to protect lives at 345 Park Avenue during the July 2025 Midtown mass shooting.
โThe Act honors his legacy by uplifting and protecting his colleagues across the city.โ -Smith Etienne, Alandโs brother

โThis is one the most consequential pieces of legislation for working people in NYC in years. It will transform lives and transform a profession that has too long been underappreciated and undervalued.โ -@MannyPastreich
