YOUR PAY. YOUR BENEFITS. YOUR WORKING CONDITIONS. YOUR VOICE.

As a security police professional, you protect people, property, and critical facilities every day. You deserve a meaningful voice in the decisions that affect your livelihood. Organizing with SPFPA gives you and your fellow officers the strength to bring your priorities to the bargaining table together.

Mandatory subjects of bargaining are workplace matters—including wages, hours, and working conditions—that an employer and a recognized union must negotiate in good faith under the National Labor Relations Act. These include issues such as overtime pay, health insurance, vacation, scheduling, and safety practices. When SPFPA becomes your bargaining representative, these subjects become matters for collective negotiations. 

An individual can ask for improvements. A united bargaining unit can require the employer to negotiate in good faith over mandatory subjects.

Through negotiations, SPFPA can present proposals reflecting officers’ priorities, request relevant information, evaluate management’s responses, and press for improvements. The employer cannot satisfy its bargaining obligation simply by going through the motions. 

The goal is a written, enforceable collective bargaining agreement that establishes clear terms of employment and negotiated procedures for addressing violations. Bargaining does not guarantee a particular raise or benefit, and neither side is legally required to agree to a proposal or make a concession. What it provides is a legally protected process for negotiating together—with the strength of an organized workforce behind your demands.
