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.

Handful of Senators Deny Employee Free Choice
For Now

The battle for the Employee Free Choice Act moves to the 2008 election after a handful of obstructionist senators have blocked a vote on the bill. On a vote of 51-48, the Senate voted for cloture, that is, shutting off debate. Sixty votes were needed to invoke cloture and end the debate and move to a vote on the bill. So even though a majority of the Senate voted for cloture, a small group of Republicans denied workers a free choice to join a union.

Find out if your U.S. senator voted for the Employee Free Choice Act. Please take a moment to thank the senators who voted for the Employee Free Choice Act. Or tell those who voted "No" that their obstruction is shameful and will be remembered.



House Passes Employee Free Choice Act














To get ahead economically, working people need the freedom to choose for themselves whether to join together in unions to bargain for better wages and benefits. But the current system for forming unions and bargaining is broken. Corporations routinely intimidate, harass, coerce and even fire workers for trying. As a result, good jobs are vanishing and health care coverage and retirement security are slipping out of reach.

The Employee Free Choice Act would change that by restoring workers’ freedom to form unions and bargain—without management interference. The legislation would strengthen penalties for companies that coerce or intimidate workers, establish mediation and binding arbitration when the employer and workers cannot agree on a first contract and enable workers to form unions when a majority signs union authorization cards.
