NY Daily News Not Naming Names of Nameless, Faceless Private Security

We missed this February 28 article because it does not name the "security firm" involved.

The firm is not named, but still I must revise my previous post - it looks like there were no moving vans involved!

Money quote: "Moore also blamed ... the security firm for doing nothing when it spotted the truck".

Now that security firm is being sued!

New York Daily News doesn't need to name the firm, they're all pretty much the same. Except some might have higher insurance rates, and higher priced lawyers, and lobbyists, and legal settlement costs, and profit-sharing offers with local airport boards. And that motivates said employees of "security firm" to do what? Moore? Exactly!

Charge against SEIU update

An Update : On Feb. 3 2012 the charge against SEIU has been received by Nation Labor Relations Board in San Francisco. The charge has been docketed as case number 20-CB-073971. This is also on the NLRB web-site with updates on the case. David Reeves is the Investigator attorney for the board on this case.

A Dark Day for CAS

On December 7th, 2010 the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey awarded contracts and agreements for several facilities. One contract was to supply unarmed uniformed guard services for JFK and LaGuardia Airports.

The winning bidder was FJC Security Services, Inc. The previous contract holder was Covenant Aviation and, as a parting gift, there is a pending breach of contract lawsuit from the local chapter of SEIU.

How much did the 1 million dollar settlement CAS paid, without admitting any wrong doing of course, influence the outcome of this awarded contract? One can only speculate.

Covenant Aviation Security in for more litigation

The NY law firm Fitapelli & Schaffer have filed a wrongful termination suit against Covenant Aviation Security claiming their client was terminated based on religious discrimination. Presumably this case involves a termination in their JFK security operations. Covenant Aviation Security runs the security for the AOA of JFK.

To be fair, large companies like this are always being sued. Whether or not this case has any merits, will be decided on a judge and or jury.
