Union Officers

With a combined career of 30+ years in the Military/Security industry, Ron has made it a collaborative effort to combine his experiences from both sides of the spectrum. In the last 19 years, Ron has handled grievances, arbitrations and NLRB hearings, with a high success record. With his specialized labor relations experience, he has taken the reigns as President and Chairman of the SSOBA Welfare and Pension Funds.

Now having moved into the new position of President he now has also taken the role on as lead contract negotiator for his membership which includes security officers, security personnel, private security, peace officers and law enforcement (active and retired). Our motto is "Members first, always" and is something this Union will strive daily to achieve.

Jennifer Farrugia serves as Executive Vice President and heads up the union/PBA job placement program. She paves the way for better opportunities for our members and any job opening that becomes available, she makes sure that our members get interviewed.

She has placed hundreds of members in better paying jobs and she will continue to do so.

Along with all her other duties, she enjoys helping our members find a better way of life for themselves and their families.
