Members of the security team at MGM Springfield will vote this month on union representation, claiming the casino has not honored some of its commitments to them.
The 200-some group is a mix of former members of area police departments, correctional officers and military veterans who transitioned into the private sector as well as younger officers who entered the field earlier in their careers. They undergo emergency training, including emergency medical procedures and defensive tactics. The officers are hourly workers who say they are paid less per hour than they were promised.

Presently many of the MGM Springfield casino employees have already sought unionization and are presently represented by other national and local unions based on a neutrality agreement.
When an employer signs a neutrality agreement it agrees to allow its employees to unionize without any interference from the company. Meaning it stays neutral and allows it’s employees to decide for themselves on whether or not to unionize.
Once the majority of employees signup to unionize the union then requests the employer to voluntarily recognize its employees right to join a union by requesting a card check which is verified by an independent party, thus bypassing an NLRB election.
While MGM Springfield has allowed most of its employees to unionize under a neutrality agreement the same cannot be said for casino security officers. In this case MGM has decided to fight and has refused to RESPECT its casino security officers rights to unionize. MGM has even gone to the extreme by hiring a third party Union-Busting consulting firm whose sole purpose is to defeat these casino security officers from forming a union.
In MGM Springfield’s attempt to gain 100% control again they have hired the Union-Busting consulting firm of GOVERNMENT RESOURCES CONSULTANTS OF AMERICA a Chicago based firm.
Based on the activity so far, this MGM Springfield Union-Busting campaign is expected to run between $500,000 to one Million dollars as more Union-Busting persuaders are appearing each day.
LEOSU Organizing Director Steve Maritas has noted, ironically MGM management has hired the best Union-Busting consulting firm in the business to represent managements interests, then they tell their employees they don’t need a union to represent their interests. This is Hypocrisy at its best.
While MGM pretends to have the casino security officers best interest at heart, the truth of the matter is, management is not concerned about workers’ rights but intern they are more concern with keeping 100% control of their business to do whatever they want, whenever they want, at all costs.
Martin Jay Levitt author of Confession of a union buster defines Union-Busting as a practice that is undertaken by an employer or their agents to prevent employees from joining a union or to disempower, subvert or destroy unions that already exist
Union busting is a field populated by bullies and built on deceit. A campaign against a union is an assault on individuals and a war on truth. As such, it is a war without honor. The only way to bust a union is to lie, distort, manipulate, threaten, and always, always attack. said Maritas
Union Busting is nothing more than psychological warfare.
Psychological warfare is defined as the planned use of propaganda and other psychological actions having the primary purpose of influencing the opinions, emotions, attitudes and behavior of hostile groups which are MGM union supporters in such a way as to support the achievement of national objectives which is the company.
MGM is known for its anti-union stance when it comes to security officers due to the fact that under the gaming commission rules and regulations, a casino cannot open if casino security officers should decide to call off sick or walk off the job. MGM knows this and fears this type of power.
Several MGM Casino security officers who wish to remain anonymous noted that the lack of trust, broken promises, the lack of job security and RESPECT had motivated them to seek union representation. They noted when they were hired the officers were promised $18 an hour after 90 days, but now only receive $16 an hour. MGM management outright lied to us. They broke their promises and our trust.

UNION BUSTING TACTICS Union busting is a field populated by bullies and built on deceit. A campaign against a union is an assault on individuals and a war on truth. As such, it is a war without honor. The only way to bust a union is to lie, distort, manipulate, threaten, and always, always attack. Martin Jay Levitt, 1993, Confessions of a Union Buster.
Union-busting is a practice that is undertaken by an employer or their agents to prevent employees from joining a labor union, or to disempower, subvert, or destroy unions that already exist.
When workers attempt to form or join a union management will hire a third party high priced union buster who are experts in union-busting tactics. Their whole goal is to defeat the workers from joining or forming a union. A typical union-buster will charge $3,000 per day. A typical campaign will cost between $50,000 to $100,000 for a small group and upwards of $500,000 or more for larger groups.

When employees try to organize a union for a better and more secure job, employers often fight back strong – in the form of union-busting. Union-busting is any action by management to prevent employees from exercising their right to organize. Union busting attorneys train supervisors on what to say to persuade workers to vote down a union. The “script” doesn’t change much. Whether you are a bus driver, a nurse, a tech, or a call center worker, employers will hire union busters who will train supervisors in this anti-union script, or “playbook.” In this Union-Busting Playbook, you can find out about common union-busting strategies.

GREENFIELD MA— The security union at Baystate Franklin Medical Center filed an unfair labor charge with the National Labor Relations Board on Wednesday over the firing of two officers and for not receiving their annual merit raises. This makes four unfair labor charges filed since the union, representing 20 officers, formed in February.
GREENFIELD — The security union at Baystate Franklin Medical Center filed an unfair labor charge with the National Labor Relations Board on Wednesday over the firing of two officers and for not receiving their annual merit raises.
This makes four unfair labor charges filed since the union, representing 20 officers, formed in February.
The security union joins the nurses union in its filing of unfair labor charges against the Greenfield hospital. Three of its officers have been let go by the hospital since the union was formed, with one of them receiving severance pay.
The security union is still negotiating its first contract since forming the collective.
The nurses have also been in negotiations with the hospital, since November, negotiating their expired contract. The local Massachusetts Nurses Association chapter demands to Baystate Franklin include increased security officers, particularly at night. The nurses say it is a matter of safety for the hospital, its employees and its patients.
“What’s happening is they know we’re uniting with the nurses,” said Law Enforcement Officers Security Unions Organizing Director Steve Maritas. “I guess they are retaliating against the security officers. All of a sudden they’re coming up with excuse after excuse to try to terminate (officers).”
Maritas added, “Obviously there’s a major problem going on at the hospital since everyone is seeking union.”
Baystate Franklin Medical Center said anyone who wants to complete a form and allege an unfair labor practice can by going to the labor board’s website.
“Unfair labor practice charges are often used as a tactic to get media attention,” spokesman Benjamin Craft said. “The vast majority of such charges filed by the MNA against BFMC in recent years, for example, have been dismissed or withdrawn.”
President Cindy Russo said the hospital is going through its proper investigation. “I respect the confidentiality of my employees unlike the union that has not shared that same respect,” Russo said.
The most recent labor charges were filed in regards to the firing of one of the officers. “This is what’s going on there. We want our story told. That’s the bottom line,” Maritas said. “We need to protect ourselves and if that means letting out the truth, then let it out.”

In the end, when all was said and done, the Law Enforcement Security Unions LEOSU-DC was the victor, winning in a landslide victory and the Security Police Fire Union losing in an embarrassing loss receiving only 4 votes out of 43 votes.
Steve Maritas, Organizing Director of LEOSU-DC noted this landslide victory by LEOSU-DC clearly shows that these NASA security officers were fed up with the lack of service and the lack of representation by the Security Police Fire Union. Noting that many of these NASA officers have complained that this union hasn’t been seen or heard from in almost 3 years. Once LEOSU-DC filed an election all of sudden Security Police Fire Union Region 4 Vice President Joseph McCray wanted to hold meetings to find out what was some of the problems at this facility. “Where has this union been for 3 years?” noted one NASA security Officer.
In the end the “LEOSU-DC had the last laugh” stated Maritas. As to McCray, Maritas noted “the immaturity of both McCray & Security Police Fire International President David L. Hickey”clearly shows you the kind of security union they really are. Between the lack of leadership, the immaturity and all the corruption & embezzlement going on at the Security Police Fire Union, it is no wonder why, so many members are leaving this organization, approximately 15,000 members since 2013”. Stated Maritas.
Maritas also noted that “there are only four (4) aces in a deck of cards which is exactly the same number of votes the Security Police Fire Union received in the NASA HQ election”.
In the next few weeks the officers working at the Department of Transportation in Washington DC and the campus safety officers & dispatchers working at Trinity College now represented by the Security Police Fire Union will have an opportunity to decertify them and vote for LEOSU-DC & LEOSU-CT representation.
We wish to welcome all of the NASA security officers into the LEOSU-DC family and “we promise we won’t let you down”.

Washington DC- In addition to filing an election to represent the security officers protecting NASA Headquarters in Washington DC the Law Enforcement Security Officers Union LEOSU-DC has also filed an election with the National Labor Relations Board NLRB to represent the 100 plus security officers working at the IRS headquarters in Washington DC as well as IRS headquarters in New Carrollton, Maryland. These IRS security officers are to represented by the Security Police Fire Union of Roseville MI.
The company who presently has the security contract for NASA headquarters in Washington DC is
The IRS headquarters in New Carrollton, MD is probably the most hated institution in America – mainly because its primary role is to force people to hand over their hard-earned cash. Because it is listed as the most hated institution in America the security officers who are assigned to protect this Maryland location as well as its Washington DC are more prone to a domestic terrorist attack. The company who presently has the security contract for both IRS headquarter locations is Security Walls, LLC.
Richmond, VA -The Fight for $15 Continues in Richmond Virginia as the Security Officers working for Swanson Services, LLC a Minority Contractor of Allied Universal Vote Unanimously in favor of LEOSU-DC Representation.
Richmond Virginia – March 7, 2014 – On the heels of victory back on 1/24/2017 by the security officers working for Allied Universal on the City of Richmond contract, fifty (50) Swanson Security officers followed suit and stood strong by voting unanimously in favor of LEOSU-DC representation with the employer receiving 0 votes.
Swanson Services, LLC, (Swanson Security) is a minority contractor of Allied Universal working on the City of Richmond contract states LEOSU-DC Organizing Director Steve Maritas.
While the Swanson security officers working along side the Allied Universal officers, essentially perform the same duties and functions as the Allied Universal officers, these Swanson Security officers are making much less in regards to wages and benefits. With the combined strength of almost 100 security officers working on the same contract, the union will attempt to negotiate one master agreement for both companies. This is the game plan noted Maritas.
We welcome these Swanson Security officers as well as the Allied Universal officers into the Law Enforcement Officers Security Unions (LEOSU-DC family. We promise to not let you down!
