Darrell Siewert is a security officer for Securitas and a member of SEIU Local 26 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Darrell was a leader in the Local 26 security officers’ struggle to sign a contract with security giants—ABM, Allied Barton, American, Viking, and Securitas—that would provide 800 private security officers affordable access to healthcare and fair wages. Through SEIU’s “Stand for Security Campaign,” Darrell and his colleagues join thousands of private security officers in cities from Boston to D.C. to Los Angeles in an historic effort to win affordable individual and family health care, wage increases, paid sick days, and increased training so that security officers have a chance to rise up the career ladder, earn enough to raise a family, and move into the middle class. When he’s not fighting for justice on the job, Darrell is repairing and re-designing old clocks—a hobby that he looks forward to taking with him into retirement.
