AlliedBarton Swatted By Students At Swarthmore

From the Swarthmore Daily Gazette…

At the beginning of this semester, two new security guards began patrolling campus during the 9:00pm to 3:30am shift. These guards are employed by AlliedBarton, a security firm that was contracted by the college to provide additional nighttime security; however, their presence has also led students to examine AlliedBarton’s disputed labor policies…

Fabricio Rodriguez, Lead Coordinator of the Philadelphia Security Officers Union (PSOU), a group that acts as an independent union for security workers in the greater Philadelphia region, cited AlliedBarton’s “low training standards” and “low pay and benefits” as points of concern.
Acocrding to Rodriguez, “You can’t be that serious about worker retention when you don’t even provide paid sick leave for your employees.”
