Rhode Island security officers deserve good jobs!

As a Rhode Island resident, I want our state’s economy to recover from the pandemic as quickly as possible. I know that the Providence Community Health Centers are an important community resource, as well as a source of many jobs.

I am concerned to hear that essential security officers employed by RIBI at PCHC have worked through the pandemic earning barely above the state minimum wage, with very few benefits. I am also aware that officers and their union have asked the leadership of PCHC to talk with them about job quality and other concerns.

Essential workers in Rhode Island deserve a voice at work. Community institutions like PCHC and their contractors like RIBI should provide decent jobs and respect the rights of workers to organize. Please ensure that your contractor RIBI acts responsibly and responds to the officers’ request.

I look forward to your support of these dedicated essential workers soon

As a Rhode Island resident, I want our state’s economy to recover from the pandemic as quickly as possible. I know that the Convention Center is an important economic driver for our area, as well as a source of many jobs.

I am concerned to hear that essential security officers employed by ASM Global at the Convention Center have worked through the pandemic earning barely above the state minimum wage, with very few benefits. I am also aware that officers and their union have asked the leadership of RICC to talk with them about job quality and other concerns, including safety, but you did not respond.

Essential workers in Rhode Island deserve a voice at work. Public authorities like RICC and their contractors like ASM Global have a responsibility to provide decent jobs and respect the rights of workers to organize.
