After attending the National Worker Mobilization in Washington D.C. March 8-11, security officers returned to their home cities and spread out to talk to non-union security officers about the Employee Free Choice Act.

Hundreds of security officers represented by SEIU spoke with more than 500 officers who currently don't have a union in 12 cities, signing them up to take action on the important worker legislation.

"We all just want the chance to join the middle class," said Steve Tilsley, a Securitas security officer in Denver, Colorado. "The Employee Free Choice act will help restore fairness in the workplace, and that is something we can all agree we need."

SEIU represents more than 30,000 security officers and is the largest security officers union in the country. Stay tuned at www.StandForSecurity.org to follow the security officers around the country.
