There is a very profitable industry that has been built around silencing workers. High-paid consultants and lawyers call it “union avoidance,” but the rest of the world, including us, calls it “union-busting.”
Union-busting is an attempt by management to prevent employees from exercising their legal right to unionize. While union-busting is illegal, it’s also very common. A recent report found that employers spend over $300 million a year on union-busting efforts.
On Tuesday, June 11, 2024, The Hollywood Casino Hotel Security Officers overwhelmingly ratified their fifth SPFPA contract. These Security Professionals joined SPFPA in 2004 and for 20 years have been moving forward SPFPA Strong as Local 1227.
The new contract, like its predecessors, is a clear sign of the ongoing improvement in the security officers’ working conditions. It encompasses crucial aspects such as wages, holidays, vacation time, personal time, seniority protection, and a grievance and arbitration procedure. These provisions are designed to shield them from unjust discipline and termination, ensuring their rights and well-being are protected.
Remember, currently your employer controls every aspect of your working life. YOU HAVE NO PROTECTION OF ANY KIND! That can change on FRIDAY, MAY 30TH… VOTE YES!
Members of the Bargaining Committee cast their vote during the ratification meeting. Negotiations were led by SPFPA Region 1 Director Roman Gumul.

SPFPA Local 2121 @ Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas overwhelmingly ratified their third SPFPA contract. Mandalay Bay Casino Hotel Officers VOTED YES SPFPA in 2016. This was historic event, because no other Casino Security unit was or currently is represented by a union.
SPFPA has worked with other Casino Officers in Las Vegas and around the country. Unfortunately, the hired UNION BUSTERS stole their opportunity to win a voice on the job. DON’T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU!
