SPFPA Local 1227 Who We Are
We are one of 300 local unions within the SPFPA International. Presently our local is under the Casino Hotel Industry Police (CHIP) Division. Our officers are highly trained in a variety of security skills. We are security police professionals that put our lives on the line to protect our nation's assets. We protect thousands of people who visit GreekTown Casino in Michigan.
Why do we exist? We are here because the men and women that protect these auto plants felt that we didn't have an even playing field in respect to wages, promotions, and working conditions. Now, most importantly, we have a voice in our future. Our primary goal is to provide consistent and innovated services to our members by creating avenues that will educate and assist our members to maximize those benefits under the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
