WHY WE EXIST

Law enforcement and security professionals have long been undervalued and poorly compensated. Their value to employers, society and their fellow workers has never been fully recognized or understood. Every day these professionals put their lives on the line, yet they are not credited for the danger they face protecting their management, their employers property, the general public or their fellow employees.

The Security Police and Fire Professionals of America (SPFPA) has been working to correct this injustice for over 59 years.

SPFPA provides Court Security Officers, Nuclear Security Officers, Corrections Officers, Campus Safety Officers, Casino Police, and many other highly specialized security, police and fire professionals with the support necessary for complete, comprehensive, and active representation in the workplace and on the street. Our members are put on a fair and equal footing with the management teams for whom they work.

EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT
It’s Time to Restore Workers’ Freedom to Form Unions

















America’s working people are struggling to make ends meet these days and our middle class is disappearing. The best opportunity working people have to get ahead economically is by uniting to bargain with their employers for better wages and benefits. Recent research has shown that some 60 million U.S. workers would join a union if they could.

Joining together in a union to bargain for better wages, benefits and working conditions is the best opportunity-working people have to get ahead.


But the current system for forming unions and bargaining is broken. Every day, corporations deny workers the freedom to decide for themselves whether to form unions to bargain for a better life. They routinely intimidate, harass, coerce and even fire workers who try to form unions and bargain for economic well-being. 

Statistics have shown that workers who belong to unions earn 30 percent more than nonunion workers. They are 62 percent more likely to have employer-provided health coverage and four times more likely to have pensions.

The Employee Free Choice Act (H.R. 800, S. 1041), supported by a bipartisan coalition in Congress, would level the playing field for workers and employers and help rebuild America’s middle class. It would restore workers’ freedom to choose a union by:

Establishing stronger penalties for violation of employee rights when workers seek to form a union and during first-contract negotiations.

Providing mediation and arbitration for first-contract disputes.

Allowing employees to form unions by signing cards authorizing union representation.

















I hope with the upcoming change in our political landscape that our politicians will look favorably on workers rights to choose a union without employer interference by enacting new laws giving all workers and security police professionals everywhere the rights and freedom to decide for themselves whether to form unions to bargain for a better life.
The freedom of workers to join a union may soon become a reality now that
democrats have taken majority control of both the House and Senate.

Labor Reform is needed now more then ever to
fix a broken one sided system that has existed for nearly 70 years.

The SPFPA wants to welcome the newest Security Police Professionals working for Costal International at the United States Department of Labor in Washington D.C. who voted for SPFPA Representation on November 7, 2008. We welcome you all to our SPFPA family.


United States Department of Labor : Federal executive department established in 1913 and charged with administering and enforcing statutes that promote the welfare of U.S. wage earners, improve their working conditions, and advance their opportunities for profitable employment. Before gaining separate cabinet status in 1913, labor had been represented by various federal agencies. The first such agency was established in 1884 as the Bureau of Labor within the Dept. of the Interior. In 1888 an independent department was created, but in 1903 labor was placed in the new Dept. of Commerce and Labor, which was reorganized as two cabinet-level departments in 1913.

The Dept. of Labor has eight major specialized divisions: the Bureau of International Labor Affairs, the Employment and Training Administration, the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, the Employment Standards Administration, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Veterans' Employment and Training Service
