Today more than 30,000 private security officers nationwide have come together to form a union with SEIU and together have won wage increases, increased training, and affordable health benefits. Together we have built a strong voice to bring more professionalism and respect to private security and these two videos of SEIU members are proof of that.

In this video, Fordham University security officer David Beckford discusses the reasons why he and his fellow security officers came together to form a union with SEIU.

In this second video, Louise Nelson, a security officer in New York City and a SEIU member recites an original poem, "What Price is Security?" which beautifully illustrates the necessity of public safety, but at a high cost to non-union security officers.
