The filing, which lists the International Union, Security, Police and Fire Professionals of America (SPFPA) as the petitioner, marks a formal request for a union representation election.
If the NLRB validates the proposed bargaining unit and schedules a vote, the security guards could decide whether to certify SPFPA as their exclusive representative for collective bargaining.
