flag Philadelphia private security officers, represented by SEIU Local 32BJ, are preparing to strike over inadequate wages, poor working conditions, and insufficient training, demanding a living wage amid rising costs. flag Workers at major institutions including Temple, Penn, and Drexel universities say current pay—capped at $16.25 per hour—fails to cover basic needs, with many skipping meals, missing rent, or avoiding medical care. flag The union blames Allied Universal, their employer, for the shortfall and urges universities to pressure the company, though the institutions are not direct employers. flag As Philadelphia prepares for 2026 global events, officers stress their critical role in public safety and are calling for fair contracts and better support. flag Allied Universal has not responded to requests for comment.
