Discipline
What to do when you receive proposed or final discipline.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
Knowledge is protection.
Understanding your rights before a workplace problem escalates can make all the difference.
STOP
Could this meeting lead to discipline?
If you reasonably believe an investigatory interview could result in discipline, you may have the right to request union representation.
Weingarten Rights
Employees covered by applicable labor-management law may request union representation during qualifying investigatory interviews. The right generally must be requested by the employee.
A simple request
“If this discussion could lead to discipline, I am requesting union representation before I answer questions.”
This page provides general union education and is not individualized legal advice. Contact Local 626 for guidance about your specific situation.
