By David L. Hickey, International President

I am truly honored and excited to announce the International Union, Security, Police and Fire Professionals of America (SPFPA) will be hosting its Sixteenth Constitutional Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 27, 28, 29, 2015. The International Executive Board and staff have worked very hard to make this Convention the most memorable event ever.

At this Convention, we will work together to prepare our great Union for years to come. I’m extremely proud of the success we have achieved as a family over the last fifteen years, and look forward to future challenges as we “Keep Moving Forward!”

I want to personally thank you for your support. Together we share a vision and together we make a difference. God bless you and yours!

As International President, I promise.....”I will not let you down!”

YTI Ratification results 1/7/15

On the date of January 7, 2015 YTI's ratification vote for the new collective bargaining agreement concluded. The results of that vote are as follows.

YTI accepted the negotiated CBA by a majority vote of 39 to 0.

The opening of the ballot box, reconciling the ballots, sorting the ballots, counting the ballots, and transmitting the results to the membership all took place in the presence of a witness to ensure that a complete and fair election process had taken place.

Thank you to all Union Brothers and Sisters that showed up and exercised your right to vote.

In Solidarity,

Azaveous Oliver
Chief Steward Local 100
