Grievance - Rights

Know Your Rights

Any worker in a unionized workplace has a Weingarten right. This is the right to representation in a meeting with management that the worker reasonably believes could result in discipline.  Again, such a situation happens to very few of our members, but only those whose workplace is covered by a union contract have this right.

Weingarten Rights

If this discussion could in any way lead to my being disciplined or terminated, or affect my personal working conditions, I respectfully request that my union representative, officer, or steward be present at this meeting.  Without representation, I choose not to answer any questions.
