This is why we have grievance and arbitration processes.  Security does their bit, they suspend and may be terminate our employment. Then the ball is in our court, we have the union and CBA where we are obligated by law to go thru the grievance and arbitration steps.  If there is no satisfaction there, then it's to civil court.  Don't let your heart over rule your head.  Keep it cool, work and act smart at all times.
 
Just leave no room for doubt or suspicion about your activities on company time or with company resources.  Be careful of what you say in public forums or venues (net, blogs, bulletin boards, etc.)  We need to get clarification on code of conduct, every chapter and verse.  If you're up for annual coverage soon, be sure to ask questions about any and everything you don't fully understand and don't sign until you know what it is you are signing.  Before I left it was all CBT.  Call the 800 number or the security office in your area.  Get the answers you need.  Ignorance is not bliss, unfortunately.  Go to your next general membership meeting at your local union hall and ask questions about what's allowed and not permitted behavior.  It's one place you can go and get answers and talk, and if your local officers don't have the answers they'll get them from your area (state) rep, if not there, then the district.  None of us like what's happening, but it is happening and we have to play the hand we're dealt.  To persist is to achieve. 
 
Knowledge is power.  There is strength in unity.  Attitude is everything!!!!
