In many families throughout Michigan, public service is a tradition. The McVeans are one of those families.

Jim (Mack) McVean just retired after a career with the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) of more than 25 years. His son, Maxwell, recently celebrated his 10-year anniversary with the MDOC.

In this Michigan Corrections Organization video, learn why they took on careers in corrections and why corrections officers should have a voice in their workplace.

Michigan Corrections Organization (MCO) represents roughly 6,000 corrections officers and forensic security assistants working inside Michigan’s prisons and the Center for Forensic Psychiatry. MCO also represents Absconder Recovery Unit investigators and other Michigan Department of Corrections employees.

MCO has the highest membership density of any state of Michigan employee union. Members own the union and are engaged on the things that matter most to them. Read more about MCO at http://www.mco-seiu.org/about-us/.
