The SEIU recently organized about 3,000 security officers in Philadelphia commercial office buildings, hospitals and universities, winning a three-year contract that provides salary increases, health care for full-time workers and sick days. Upshaw, a 46-year-old Army veteran and security officer at the University of Pennsylvania, says the contract will eventually boost his hourly wage from about $13 to about $15. Just an importantly, he says it'll also reduce medical expenses for his asthmatic wife, which have cost them about $11,000 over the past three years. &quot;The union gives us a lot more stability,&quot; he says. &quot;It's making this job a career and it's taking us out of poverty.&quot; (AP Photo/Matt Rourke)&lt;/p&gt;</media:description><media:credit role="owner" scheme="urn:yvs"></media:credit></media:content><media:content url="http://m.static.newsvine.com/servista/imagesizer?file=a215caf7-4dc8-48d9-988f-cef587aeb826.jpg&amp;width=400" type="image/jpeg" medium="image" height="512" width="336" ><media:thumbnail url="http://m.static.newsvine.com/servista/imagesizer?file=a215caf7-4dc8-48d9-988f-cef587aeb826.jpg&amp;width=120" width="120" height="183" /><media:description type="plain">&lt;p&gt;FILE - In this March 19, 1964 file photo, state labor union members spill over into the street in front of the State Capitol at Harrisburg, Pa. during a rally against Gov.
