The Missouri Corrections Officers Association (MOCOA) is a prominent organization based in Jefferson City, MO, dedicated to representing and advocating for corrections officers in the state. Led by experienced leaders, MOCOA has achieved significant milestones over its 20-year history, including successful negotiations for shift differentials, overtime pay, and flex time, as well as securing the largest pay raise in the Department of Corrections' history. With a new director at the helm, MOCOA is committed to implementing changes in leadership strategies, enhancing visibility, and providing training opportunities for corrections officers. MOCOA serves as a vital barrier between corrections officers and the Department management, addressing issues such as abuse of authority, overwork, understaffing, and inadequate compensation. Despite challenges from the Department, MOCOA remains the official bargaining unit for corrections officers and Sergeants, fighting for their rights and interests. As state employees face benefit losses and increasing pressures, membership in MOCOA is more crucial than ever, offering support and advocacy to protect the well-being and working conditions of corrections officers across Missouri.Generated from the website
