These are actions the employer is prohibited from doing to bargaining unit members or MCO.

 

• To interfere with, restrain, or coerce employees in the exercise of rights granted by this rule.

 

• To dominate, interfere, or assist in the formation, existence, or administration of any employee organization.

 

• To discriminate against an employee because that employee has filed any affidavit, petition or complaint, or given any information or testimony or because that employee has formed, joined or chosen to be represented by any employee organization.

 

• To refuse to bargain in good faith or meet and confer with recognized employee organizations as required by this rule.

 

 

Historically, MCO has used the filing of unfair labor practice charges as a last resort and only after all efforts to resolve our dispute with MDOC have failed. Charges against the employer can only be filed by MCO's Chief of Staff.
