MCO members have the right to representation at interviews or meetings where the employer is gathering information that could lead to their discipline. This right is guaranteed by our contract.

MCO members also have the right to access information necessary for bargaining and contract enforcement. Most information must be provided at our request if it is for one of these purposes. The FOIA requirements are also at our disposal but should only be used as a last resort because of the expense and paperwork involved. Any emails, pictures, or other evidence that MCO needs should be requested through the Warden or investigator. This should not be requested on state email or stationery.
