Know Your Rights!

If you are in any meeting and are feeling like you are being threatened with disciplinary measures, termination, or sanctions of any kind, please invoke your Weingarten Rights!  Weingarten says that you have a right to have a union representative present.  Here is an example of Weingarten language:

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 Association representative be present at the meeting.  Without representation, I choose not to answer any questions.
