Winning Health Care For Our Families

Wealthy buildings owners often have access to state-of-the-art health care, while officers who guard their buildings can't afford doctors visits.

Diseases that commonly afflict all Americans like diabetes and heart disease need monitoring and regular care and for security officers consistent care is even more important. If no one is there due to untreated illness, anything could happen. Without access to secure, affordable health insurance, officers may be forced to live shorter lives or live with pain and illness.

We shouldn't ask young women and men to protect multi-million dollar buildings without providing basic health protections for them and their families.

With SEIU, officers across the country have won contracts that provide them with employer-paid health coverage for themselves and their families.

Minneapolis security officers won individual health coverage for $20 per month by the end of their contract, and more affordable family coverage for $270 per month.

Officers across Los Angeles now have 80-100% employer-paid health insurance guaranteed by the end of their contract and they have access to affordable family coverage.
