Bay Area Security Officers Reach Tentative Agreement On Higher Wages, Family Healthcare

More than 4,000 private security officers in San Francisco, Alameda and Contra Costa Counties united in SEIU Local 24/7—who have been working under an expired contract since June 30th and who conducted the West Coast’s first-ever strike of private security officers in September—reached a tentative agreement late Thursday night with the Bay Area’s largest private security companies on a contract that includes higher wages and family healthcare.

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and prominent Bay Area building owner Shorenstein Properties were instrumental in bringing about the settlement.

The officers will conduct a ratification vote this Saturday on what would be a five-year contract agreement.
