U.S. DEPARTMENT HOMELAND SECURITY POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION ANNONCES UNITE TO WIN CAMPAIGN FOR SECURITY POLICE OFFICERS NATIONWIDE

http://unitetowin.homestead.com/index.html
While many in the security industry, including the managers of some security companies, are pushing for national standards concerning training and skill-level, the industry does not pay enough to attract and maintain qualified personnel. The average pay for private security officer is just $7.55 per hour with few, if any, benefits, and the annual turnover rate in some markets is as high as 400%. With its low wages, low standards, and poor working conditions, the private security industry is one that is way overdue, ready to unionize nationally.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Police Officers Association can help assist you in forming a legitimate security union to represent and negotiate over wages, benefits and working conditions.

As a matter of law only legitimate security union recognized by the National Labor Relations Board ( NLRB) can file a petition with the NLRB to have a security union certified as a collective bargaining agent.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Officers Association is prepared to help you every step of the way in forming a legitimate security officers union giving you the protection under section 159, Title 29 of U.S. Labor Code. This provision, known more commonly as the "Guard Law," gives management the right to refuse workers' petitions to join a mix guard union if these unions represent members other than guards.

With over 3,000,000 security police officer professionals in the 50 States, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Police Officers Association determined this industry to have sufficient manpower to commence negotiations with security guard companies and their clients.

Our organization will be built from the ground up. That means we are building a grassroots UNITE -TO-WIN campaign inviting Homeland Security Police Officers from around the United States and other countries to join U.S.-DHSPOA in gaining the respect, wages and benefits we all deserve.

Our grassroots UNITE-TO-WIN campaign must start with you first joining DHSPOA and thereafter by word of mouth. Communicating with your fellow officers about DHSPOA will lead to our success.

While this grassroots effort begins U.S.-DHSPOA will be contacting other security police officer professionals from around the United States, to gather more interested members and increase leverage for security police officers professionals nationwide.
