You are a member of MPEA covered by a collective bargaining agreement and as such have additional employment rights. Your rights derive from federal laws, state laws and your collective bargaining agreement. YOUR MEMBERSHIP in MPEA gives you one more RIGHT and that is the right to representation for an employment related violation of these rights.

    These rights include those granted by the Montana Collective Bargaining Act, FLSA, ADA, FMLA, and specific rights such as Weingarten for all employees and Garrity for law enforcement employees. The majority of MPEA contracts provide for “Just Cause” for termination after probation.

    As a member of MPEA you are not required to know these rights and how they work. If you are having a job related difficulty YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR MPEA STAFF REPRESENTATIVE IMMEDIATELY AND DISCUSS YOUR PROBLEM. THE EARLIER MPEA BECOMES INVOLVED, THE MORE MPEA MAY BE ABLE TO DO FOR YOU.

    Your Contract gives you the right to fair treatment in hiring, promotion, transfer, and discipline; and it provides a process to protect your rights.  You cannot be punished without Just Cause.  You have the right to question the fairness of your employer.
