SEIU 32BJ security officers Neslie McKallen and Michael Gittens are two of about 40 officers who were laid-off from protecting Bank of America buildings in New York City right before the Thanksgiving holiday. The now-jobless officers were originally employed by Securitas Security and worked at four Merrill Lynch locations--until Bank of America took over Merrill Lynch and pink-slipped the responsible contractor.

On November 23rd, McKallen and Gittens were joined by local clergy leaders and fellow 32BJ SEIU members to deliver the "Turkey of the Year" award to ousted BofA chairman Ken Lewis for his role in allowing the ex-workers to be treated so horribly.
