Corrections Officers

Consistent representation across institutions, units and shifts.

Keep members, cases and the collective agreement connected in a regulated, around-the-clock workplace.

Unions representing corrections officers support members in institutions that do not close, where post assignments, overtime, lockdowns, accommodation and health and safety sit inside a tightly regulated environment. Union Software gives stewards, staff representatives and officers one place to keep membership, files and agreement language connected across institutions, units and shifts.

Understand the Environment

Bargaining units can include correctional officers, supervisors, living-unit staff, trades, programs and other classifications working a continuous institutional schedule.

Members are posted by institution, unit and shift, and overtime, acting assignments and escorts regularly move them off their usual post.

Post assignment, minimum staffing, overtime, workplace violence, accommodation and health and safety concerns generate representation that should stay on file and later inform bargaining.

Scenario

  1. An officer reports a post left empty on a living unit and wants it treated as a safety file, not a hallway complaint.

  2. The steward opens the case against the member, institution and unit, and pulls post-order language from Agreements.

  3. A unit-level safety note goes to that shift, with a short form for anyone else who worked short.

  4. Reports across units give the local a staffing pattern for bargaining and a membership update.
