SEIU is the largest union of property services workers in the United States. G4S Wackenhut is one of the largest security companies in the country, employing 38,000 people.



The new agreement between SEIU and Wackenhut brings an end to a long dispute and establishes an agreed upon framework to work together in interest of security officers.



"We are encouraged by The Wackenhut leadership's willingness to open dialogue that ultimately resulted in a settlement that will move both our institutions forward productively, said Valarie Long, the SEIU Property Services Division's chief negotiator in the settlement discussions. "This is a positive step forward for security officers and their families all over the country."
