"They are not a union. They wont make formal requests written or verbal. They will ask what you need and wont advocate for you. I promise you this first hand experience. They are lack of representation legally."

"Union is doing a great job they’re doing a fantastic job when it comes to supporting Rochdale Public Safety. Ms Garcia is very supportive and has never let me down which is amazing!"

"Hi I'm pleased and honored to share with you my experience with the SSOBA union. I'm a 30+yrs employee at my company, and for the past 22yrs I was fortunate to both function as senior delegate and be represented by SSOBA. The Union's office staff are always professional, courteous and helpful, which I recognize is a reflection of the policies, principles and motto of the administration lead by its President Ron Fedrizzi. Ron is well organized and detailed, he is always engineering something that would benefit the membership, he's passionate in fighting for job protection, getting terminated employees back to work, not to mention he's an architect around the negotiating table .Over the years he has built our contract from zero to free medical, vision and dental coverage I said FREE ! Not to mention the other numerous coveted benefits. He has always made himself accessible to all his members. I would strongly recommend this union to anyone who is desirous of their service."

"This is not a union it is a dictatorship. They dont even let you vote on your own delegate to represent you. I have been asking to get a union delegate for 5 years on my shift 4x12. No results..my pay check been wrong for 5 years no..results."

"I have been in this union for almost 4 years and I truly have to say that one of my favorite experiences is working with Matilde Garcia. She is truly mother hen. She pulls our ears when necessary and knows when to fight for the membership. There have been times I have called her at odd hours of the night with emergency situations and she has always been there with a plan. I have learned so much from her and as a rookie delegate, I have won two cases for the membership thanks to her and the team. She is really one of the best."
