Which one is more correct? (Parallal Structure)

The purpose of a laborunion is to improve the working condition (job security/ the job's security), and pay of its members.

To my knowledge, we should use the first one because "job security" and "working condition" are grammatically equivalent, Right?

Your prompt reply it will be highly appreciated
