Washington, D.C. Security
32BJ President Mike Fishman joined D.C. security officers and city
council members to announce the historic contract victory in April, 2008.
Every day in our nation's capital, hundreds
of thousands of people rely on security
officers to keep them safe. We provide
crucial services in this post 9/11 world.
All too often, however, we don't get the respect
we deserve.
Our contractors and the real
estate industry are not providing us with the
compensation that we need to adequately
support our families and build secure futures.
We deserve better!
City Council Member Kwame Brown and security officer Abusam Elfatih hold
a plaque thanking Brown for his support of District officers and their families.
Private security officers presented Brown with a plaque to recognize his work to pass the Enhanced Professional Security Amendment Act in January and for participating in Local 32BJ’s challenge to walk a day in an officer’s shoes last November. Brown co-introduced the bill which sets the wage and benefit level for more than 1,500 security officers protecting private commercial office buildings at $11.51 per hour plus $3.16 for benefits.
