Weingarten Rights

If you are called into a meeting with a Management or a representative of management and you have reason to believe that disciplinary action may be imposed, you have the right to have a Union Steward or Union Representative present for the duration of the meeting. Please read the statement below and contact your Steward or Business Agent immediately.

READ THIS STATEMENT TO MANAGEMENT:

“If this discussion could in any way lead to my being disciplined or terminated, or affect my personal working conditions, I request that my Union Representative, Officer, or Steward be present at the meeting. Without representation, I choose not to answer any question(s).””

“This is my right under the U.S. Supreme Court decision called Weingarten.”
