Strike Security

What is Strike Security? 

Strike security services are a critical component of securing your facilities and protecting employees prior to and during labor disputes. Strike Security Officers are specifically trained for labor dispute environments; they understand the risks and threats inherent in these situations and capture evidence in compliance with the National Labor Relations Act which is a company's best defense against false accusations and any incidents that occur.
