About 10,000 guards will become members of the Service Employees International Union. A deal was announced today among building owners, security guard contractors and the SEIU. The agreement applies to commercial office buildings over 75,000 square feet in L.A. County. The union has been trying to organize security guards for seven years. You might remember that Robert Maguire reached a separate deal with the SEIU early last year. LABJ
