SECURITAS USA REACHES CONTRACT AGREEMENT WITH KAISER HOSPITALS SECURITY GUARDS - UNION VOTE APPROVES AGREEMENT

Securitas Security Services USA has reached agreement with SEIU for a new three-year contract that will cover some 2,000 former Inter-Con security officers guarding Kaiser medical facilities in five states.

The contract will provide a 40-cent-per-hour raise for security officers each year of the agreement along with quality, affordable health care coverage for them and their families.

“Union members have voted overwhelmingly to approve this contract which we believe will provide security officers with a decent wage and excellent benefits,” said Terry Brady, Regional President for Securitas USA . “This contract shows that at Securitas USA we respect and value our employees and their right to be represented by organized labor. Securitas USA has been recognized as a responsible, unionized employer and this contract reflects that.”

Securitas USA was hired to staff security at Kaiser Hospitals in February. Security officers working at the healthcare facilities were not operating under a union contract at the time. But Securitas USA agreed to bargain in good faith with the Service Employees International Union.

Prior to Securitas USA , security officers had been working for InterCon without a collective bargaining agreement for 15 years. Securitas USA worked to finalize a labor agreement with these officers that is on par with a contract signed in 2007 in San Francisco — one of the most generous collective bargaining agreements in the country.

Securitas USA is the nation’s largest and most locally-focused security company in the United States , with over 450 local branch managers and more than 100,000 security officers who provide unmatched security solutions to meet the specific needs of thousands of businesses.
