Although I'm not sure if a Union will change the culture of Allied Barton. It may benefit the guards with higher wages (so they can afford to pay dues), swifter legal resolve against workplace harassment, denied breaks, denied meal breaks, not receiving correct pay, and a grievance committee. A Union may keep a lazy account manager on his toes. And stop HR from sweeping your complaints under the carpet.
On the other hand. Make sure that your Union is not so weak as to knuckle under Allied Barton pressure to go non-union once again. If you want a Union, you'd better be at ALL Union meetings to keep up the support.

Allied Barton Mistreatment Of Employees.
So you think that Allied Barton is an up and up company to work for or entrust your business to...?
Watch the following video. See if you've experienced this at your workplace.
Note: I will say recently, flex guards hired before January 2013 that were required to work all of these crazy hours at the drop of a hat, with no refusal of work accepted, and no questions asked are now all assigned to permanent posts working 40 hours a week for less pay. What's a guard to do, used to working 60 to sometimes 80 hours a week? That guard has been accustomed to a certain level of pay for all of the verbal abuse from his or her account manager and the lack of sleep and damage to one's health. How's it feel having your hours and rate of pay taken away. How are you going to pay your bills with a good portion of your pay stripped away? In my area, flex guards will lose 2 1/2 to 3 times their usual gross wages. And new flex guards will face and experience the same unreasonable demands of their account managers for less pay. That's gratitude for ya.
