DESCRIPTION:Security Officers Are Standing Up and Ready to Strike for their Civil 
 Rights!\n\n“Security companies break the law every day. Now we are coming 
 together to stop them from walking all over us. We will not be 
 silenced.”\n \nSEIU 24/7 \nBargaining Committee\n\nOn Saturday, Sept. 15, 
 SEIU Local 24/7, the Bay Area’s security officers’ union representing 
 nearly 6,000 security officers in San Francisco, Alameda and Contra Costa 
 counties, voted overwhelmingly to authorize the leadership of the union to 
 call an unfair labor practice strike when necessary to defend security 
 officers’ rights.   \n\nSan Francisco’s security workers have had 
 enough and are planning to take to the streets to demand the city’s 
 wealthiest property owners, including Morgan Stanley, instruct their 
 contractors to end poverty wages and provide decent health care 
 benefits.\n\nMostly people of color and new immigrants, San Francisco’s 
 security workers who guard these multi-billion dollar buildings are the 
 lowest paid earning less than parking attendants and janitors.  Because of 
 these poverty conditions security workers sometimes have to work two or 
 three jobs to make ends meet.  \n\nThe clock is now ticking and we can all 
 make a difference here in San Francisco to end poverty wages and win back 
 healthcare for a predominately African American workforce!\n\nAll week 
 we’ve been building the drumbeat to this week of action.  We’ve had 
 press conferences, tons of media coverage and short demonstrations.   Now 
 from the 24th – 28th of September please join hundreds of human rights 
 activists, community leaders, ministers and congregations  to show security 
 contractors and property owners that the community stands with security 
 workers and the struggle.\n\nIf we come together we can insure that these 
 workers rights are respected and that they are treated with the dignity 
 they deserve!\n \nWe need you.\n\n\nJOIN THE SECURITY WORKERS FOR A WEEK OF 
 ACTIONS\nSep 24 – 28, 2007,  Financial District, San Francisco\n \nHow 
 can I support San Francisco’s low wage security workers get decent wages 
 and health care?\n \n1) Demonstrate your support by joining folks on the 
 streets during the week of Sep - Mon. 24th to Fri. 28th. \n\nAction times 
 every day that week are:\n•	7.30am – 9.00am: Meet At 1 Front (near 
 Embarcadero BART) \n•	12pm - 2.pm: Meet at 1 Front  \n•	4pm-6pm: Meet 
 at 1 Front\n\nWe strongly encourage folks to volunteer for the entire week 
 or for an entire day.\n\n
