LCVs from the Interstate System to the entire NHS.
Freezes the gross vehicle weight limit of single
trailer trucks on the NHS at 80,000 pounds.

2. We continue to support the 9B3 rule of the National
Labor Relations Act, which makes the security officer a distinct
professional. We must maintain the purity of this profession so
that security officers can stand with dignity and pride. We
strongly support wage and benefit increases that will provide each
security officer with a piece of the American dream. They protect
and serve our communities. They must be rewarded financially for
their service and their professionalism.

We supported Legislation which requires banks to
install an emergency 911 button on their ATM machines. This
helps to protect armored car guards that service the machines, as well
as the citizens that use them.
We supported the licensing of security officers, which
became the New York State Security Guard Act. New York is one of
the only states in the United States that has this protection for
security officers. We strongly endorse this legislation
nationwide. We support continuous training for security officers
to enhance their safety and professionalism.
