Much to their surprise Hagan stated that Paragon was not willing to give the protective service officers working at GSA ROB building a raise this year. Noting “It’s Not that We Can’t Give You a Raise, We Won’t”.
Within an hour of the news the Paragon protective service officers working at GSA ROB, reacted to Hagan’s statement by calling for a call to action.
What happened next was a total of 18 officers called off work the next day in a show of solidarity.
While the law protects employees in regards Protected Concerted Activity, Paragon decided to retaliate against its officers by informing certain individuals not to report to work until further notice.
The LEOSU-DC immediately took action against Paragon by filing federal charges with the NLRB and sending out a mass email to GSA top officials from all around the country notifying them of the Unions intention to call a strike at GSA ROB building. Within hours of this mass email, Paragon and Hagan must of got the message, since the officers started to receive phone calls to return to work immediately.
