A lot of what we have today, things we take for granted, is the result of working men and women joining together in unions to make America even more a land of opportunity. Here are just a few things working people like us, working together in unions, have won:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2022 Protection from unfair terminations<br \/>\u2022 Safety and health protections on the job<br \/>\u2022 Fairness in promotions and job assignments<br \/>\u2022 Sick leave<br \/>\u2022 The 40-hour work week<br \/>\u2022 The 8-hour day<br \/>\u2022 Overtime pay<br \/>\u2022 Paid vacations and holidays<br \/>\u2022 Pensions<br \/>\u2022 Better health plans<br \/>\u2022 Higher wages for union members<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Then there&#8217;s the stuff you can&#8217;t put a price on dignity, respect, more opportunities for you and your family, and a real say in what happens on the job. Unions have and will continue to make a big difference. With downsizing and mergers, layoffs, changes in the economy, and rising inequalities, working people like us need to join together now more than ever.\u00a0 Nobody ever gave working people anything we earned it!\u00a0 We fought for it!\u00a0 The <strong>Security Officers Association of America<\/strong> are still fighting to win respect and a fair deal for America&#8217;s working Security Officers. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Union Phone Number is<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/3037044616\">(303) 704-4616<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to UnionTalk, the unofficial website of Security Officers Association of America (SOAA)\u00a0representing the Security Officers working on the Colorado FPS contract.
