Weingarten Rights

If you are a union member, you have a right to have union representation at any interview or meeting that you reasonably believe may lead to discipline or “at which the employer seeks information to enable it to impose discipline or termination.” The Supreme Court case of National Labor Relations Board v. Weingarten, decided in 1975, established this basic entitlement and the procedures for when and how union reps may participate in interviews. Collectively, these rules are referred to as “Weingarten rights.”

You can invoke your Weingarten Rights by saying the following:

“If this discussion could in any way lead to my being disciplined or terminated, or cause an effect on my personal working conditions, I respectfully request that my union representative be present at the meeting. Until my representation arrives, I choose not to participate in this discussion.”
