LOS ANGELES – On September 14, 2021, California Statewide Law Enforcement Association (CSLEA) Supervising Counsel Dave De La Riva conducted a new employee orientation for several museum security officers at Exposition Park. The orientation gave De La Riva and the officers a chance to meet and to discuss the benefits of union membership which include:
- A $15,000 basic life insurance benefit
- Access to a proven Legal Defense Fund (Criminal and Civil Matters))
- Legal Representation for administrative investigations and discipline
- Voting rights for future contracts
- Access to other group insurance rates (CLEA, Allstate, Home, automobile, etc.)
- Access to the CSLEA Exclusive Members Discount Program
- CSLEA-sponsored AB 483 which would grant peace officer status to the museum security officers
“It was a pleasure meeting with the officers today and having the opportunity to answer their questions about the importance of union membership,” said De La Riva. “We have a dedicated group of public safety professionals who work at Exposition Park to protect people and property and we want to be sure they are protected as well.”
