For too long the economic contributions of the 99 percent have gone unrecognized.

That's why profit-creating security officers in the San Francisco Bay Area's healthcare sector came together last week in Santa Rosa, California.

"We are healthcare security officers fighting for improved safety for patients and hospital staff," says officer Adam Green. "We are for fighting for respect for our union and to win better wages, working conditions and family healthcare."

It's simple. Workers create profits for employers. Employers pay workers in full--including fair wages, quality healthcare, and paid time-off--for the work that they do. Anything less and the economy can't function.
