Two prominent women's groups and the Service Employees International Union are calling on Atlanta-based U.S. Security Associates (USSA)--the nation's fourth-largest private security firm--to adopt procedures to rid its worksites of sexual harassment.

The company has been driving down standards in the security industry, including a history of lawsuits across 14 states claiming harassment, discrimination, retaliation against whistleblowers, wage violations, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration violations.

In August 2011, Stand For Security published the first issue of Unsafe With U.S. Security Associates, a newsletter to inform security directors, property managers, office building tenants and others about the business practices of U.S. Security Associates. We continue to publish about one newsletter a month.
