San Francisco | Labor & WorkersSupport the San Francisco Security Workers!
Several hundred security officers from SEIU 24/7 and their supporters marched through the San Francisco financial district to demand liveable wages and affordable healtcare. The demonstration took over rush hour traffic in the area with a strong message for justice. This is the first strike of its kind in San Francisco. Secuity workers protect high rise commercial offices in the downtown area for some of the richest property owners in the country like Morgan Stanley. While these corporations are enjoying record breaking profits the security workers are relegated to poverty wages with no healtcare. While job responsibilities for the security workers are high they find themselves on the bottom of a growing service industry that has pushed down the standard of living of workers in this country to record lows.
